a moment to thank heaven for
stepping on stepping down. For

27
00:02:47,22 --> 00:02:52,57

28
00:02:56,30 --> 00:03:02,42
So the meeting. Will still
still take your input.

29
00:03:04,65 --> 00:03:07,16
So at some point I and E.D.

30
00:03:07,17 --> 00:03:10,81
And I will talk about how as a leadership
team we can work together we have

31
00:03:10,82 --> 00:03:14,89
a couple minutes at the end the meeting
will sit down. And I will try to do that I

32
00:03:14,90 --> 00:03:21,42
also want to welcome our new and returning
board members we have Tom. Cheney over

33
00:03:21,43 --> 00:03:28,31
here who apparently got
the most votes. And

34
00:03:28,39 --> 00:03:31,47
Chuck Lacy. As you all know who came in

35
00:03:31,48 --> 00:03:35,38
a very close second so we're glad
to glad to have you on board.

36
00:03:38,79 --> 00:03:45,57
To be here. So really
when you do need to talk

37
00:03:45,58 --> 00:03:52,16
about committees. Before
we get into the big three

38
00:03:52,17 --> 00:03:52,82
committees there's

39
00:03:52,83 --> 00:03:57,94
a couple things I would like to kind of
get out of the way first for those of you

40
00:03:58,40 --> 00:04:01,30
who are new to this process
we generally just have

41
00:04:01,31 --> 00:04:06,00
a conversation and figure out who wants
to be on what committee. And then at the

42
00:04:06,01 --> 00:04:09,41
end we'll kind of make sure that everybody's
OK Before we move on to the next

43
00:04:09,69 --> 00:04:13,32
agenda item. So we do have

44
00:04:13,33 --> 00:04:19,77
a policy committee that is not policy
governance but is there in case they need to

45
00:04:19,78 --> 00:04:26,42
meet. Diane and Cindy were on that committee
I don't to do even made in the last

46
00:04:26,43 --> 00:04:31,65
year you know we didn't have them. And I
saw from the minute if I read it right

47
00:04:31,66 --> 00:04:35,36
that Tara Fowler from Huntington would be
on that committee if there was some need

48
00:04:36,16 --> 00:04:40,80
for that committee to meet Are you too
comfortable staying in that role and stand

49
00:04:40,81 --> 00:04:46,10
by Does anybody else have any interest in
being on the on the non meeting Policy

50
00:04:46,11 --> 00:04:51,95
Committee. At the ready
so will will pencil and.

51
00:04:53,86 --> 00:05:00,49
Cindy and Diane for the for that. One
of the other roles is the regional

52
00:05:00,50 --> 00:05:05,35
advisory board I have been serving on
that. Serve on that board and Chuck has

53
00:05:05,36 --> 00:05:10,26
expressed some interest in serving on the
regional advisory board and I think he

54
00:05:10,27 --> 00:05:14,85
too he's got some great energy and I think
he'd be great on that board. Is there

55
00:05:14,86 --> 00:05:21,15
anybody else who's interested in that
particular particular role among you the role

56
00:05:21,33 --> 00:05:28,04
reversal. So the regional advisory board.

57
00:05:29,78 --> 00:05:35,88
Provides some direction for the county
technical centers Soboth assets and

58
00:05:35,89 --> 00:05:41,32
Burlington. There are some complicated.

59
00:05:44,24 --> 00:05:48,12
It's complicated how things actually
work and of course things are different

60
00:05:48,13 --> 00:05:55,01
between Burlington and Affleck's. For
example the Essex technology budget is

61
00:05:55,02 --> 00:06:01,54
voted on by Essex voters but separately.
From their school budgets whereas in

62
00:06:01,55 --> 00:06:06,01
Burlington their technology budget is
included in the entire Burlington school

63
00:06:06,30 --> 00:06:10,84
budget. So they're the regional
advisory board doesn't have

64
00:06:10,85 --> 00:06:15,37
a whole huge amount of authority but when
there are certain things that happen

65
00:06:16,01 --> 00:06:19,90
there is required to be some
communication between the board and the.

66
00:06:23,53 --> 00:06:30,19
Efforts of the Burlington
board. So I will talk

67
00:06:30,20 --> 00:06:37,04
a little bit about some of the details
during the. Committee and by advisor

68
00:06:37,92 --> 00:06:44,76
for section of the agenda but
the. This regional advisory board

69
00:06:44,77 --> 00:06:47,39
was formed less than two
years ago there had been

70
00:06:47,40 --> 00:06:50,91
a different organization that was performing
some of those functions so the board

71
00:06:50,92 --> 00:06:57,78
is just really coming together I think
chuckle brings some good energy. But I think

72
00:06:57,79 --> 00:07:00,53
in short the technical
centers haven't been getting

73
00:07:00,54 --> 00:07:06,03
a lot of attention from either
their supporting boards or from.

74
00:07:08,25 --> 00:07:08,56
From

75
00:07:08,57 --> 00:07:13,16
a super regional advisory board as they should
have been so hopefully subject direction

76
00:07:13,17 --> 00:07:14,21
can be provided there and there's

77
00:07:14,22 --> 00:07:19,03
a lot of interesting discussions that I'm
sure will be able to bring back that was

78
00:07:19,04 --> 00:07:25,72
probably no longer answers I mean. This is
really just called the Regional advisory

79
00:07:25,73 --> 00:07:30,83
board that's planned. Doesn't
tell you what it is.

80
00:07:34,95 --> 00:07:41,17
Is. Fine. So

81
00:07:41,18 --> 00:07:47,60
a pencil chucked in for that for now the
other position I want to talk about

82
00:07:47,98 --> 00:07:52,36
not sure exactly what it would be labeled
so this is an opportunity to make your

83
00:07:52,37 --> 00:07:57,13
own position is we really could use somebody
to kind of take the reins of policy

84
00:07:57,14 --> 00:08:03,18
governance in terms of. Perhaps of leadership
but also some some coordination in

85
00:08:03,19 --> 00:08:09,54
terms of policies. You know I've been doing
some of that at different points Kevin

86
00:08:09,55 --> 00:08:13,68
and Diane have have contributed to that
but we could really use like a P.G.

87
00:08:13,69 --> 00:08:17,49
Point per point person or P. G.'s R.

88
00:08:17,53 --> 00:08:24,32
Or. Something along those lines and I'm
hopeful that if not right now by the end

89
00:08:24,33 --> 00:08:28,22
of talking about committees that somebody
would be willing to to put their hand up

90
00:08:28,23 --> 00:08:33,94
and kind of take some leadership
on that. Who'd like to jump first.

91
00:08:38,25 --> 00:08:44,06
I mean leave leave that blank for now
but that's. But that is one that is

92
00:08:44,07 --> 00:08:49,39
a. Place where the board could really use
some support from somebody who's who's

93
00:08:49,40 --> 00:08:51,75
able to kind of focus on that I
don't know that would require

94
00:08:51,76 --> 00:08:58,36
a huge amount of time but it would
require some focus. So we have three

95
00:08:59,12 --> 00:09:05,18
three other committees to talk about
negotiations finance and community engagement

96
00:09:05,18 --> 00:09:11,52
. I've got

97
00:09:11,57 --> 00:09:16,50
negotiations on there so Michael Marks is
not here today but he's on that committee

98
00:09:16,51 --> 00:09:20,89
and would like to continue. I'm on
the committee I think it's been

99
00:09:20,90 --> 00:09:25,30
a tradition that the chair of the board
also chairs the negotiations committee and

100
00:09:25,31 --> 00:09:32,26
I'd like to continue with that. Kevin
is on and is willing to continue at

101
00:09:32,27 --> 00:09:38,86
least through this negotiations
cycle. I think we could use

102
00:09:39,38 --> 00:09:45,75
another board member to kind of
fill things out. Paul is the

103
00:09:45,76 --> 00:09:49,31
representative from the Huntington
board who serves on that committee.

104
00:09:52,90 --> 00:09:57,09
And I don't know how long Paul will
continue on that committee I believe you

105
00:09:57,10 --> 00:10:00,48
announce that you're going to be serving
one more year on the Huntington board

106
00:10:00,49 --> 00:10:02,42
where here. There's not

107
00:10:02,43 --> 00:10:05,97
a rush from the Huntington committed
uneaten board to get on the go see

108
00:10:05,98 --> 00:10:10,97
a citizen like you to chair should be on
so I'll be on for another year you know.

109
00:10:16,02 --> 00:10:20,52
So is anybody interested in.
Negotiation negotiation.

110
00:10:22,93 --> 00:10:29,91
Only reason I'm the author is you know
he's with us and more than happy. To make

111
00:10:30,05 --> 00:10:35,02
almost call me when it's here and I. Did
so as I'll create you don't have to do

112
00:10:35,03 --> 00:10:38,85
a whole lot but I would somebody
want to take on that role.

113
00:10:45,92 --> 00:10:49,65
In the media in time for that are. That's

114
00:10:49,66 --> 00:10:55,94
a tough one because the meetings tend to
start at four thirty which can i know can

115
00:10:55,95 --> 00:10:56,03
be

116
00:10:56,04 --> 00:11:00,36
a difficult time for some folks sometimes
Paul smiling at me sometimes even earlier

117
00:11:00,36 --> 00:11:07,02
. How long. Sometimes the meetings are

118
00:11:07,03 --> 00:11:13,13
really short Other times they are far
from short. It's really it's really

119
00:11:13,14 --> 00:11:16,47
interesting work to look at the tea at
the contracts and to see how the whole

120
00:11:16,48 --> 00:11:23,22
negotiation process goes on I find it
fascinating. But it is time consuming.

121
00:11:24,39 --> 00:11:28,80
Unfortunately for reasons that have nothing
to do with our board or any of our

122
00:11:28,81 --> 00:11:29,78
unions we've been in

123
00:11:29,79 --> 00:11:36,02
a. We've been negotiating one year contracts
because of the changes that are coming

124
00:11:36,03 --> 00:11:42,28
with statewide health care for school
employees. So it's been kind of

125
00:11:42,81 --> 00:11:48,41
unfortunate. That we've been in the
cycle of negotiating every year in

126
00:11:48,42 --> 00:11:53,09
a typical negotiations here things start
off in the fall with. A meeting with each

127
00:11:53,10 --> 00:11:58,34
group the support staff and with
the teachers typically a meeting

128
00:11:58,35 --> 00:12:03,40
a month setting ground rules and starting
to exchange proposals it tends to get

129
00:12:03,41 --> 00:12:07,43
more intense as we get into the late winter
months and early spring months because

130
00:12:07,44 --> 00:12:11,61
their contracts typically expire at the end
of June and they typically want to get

131
00:12:11,62 --> 00:12:16,72
those if possible settled before the end
of the school year. So I probably just

132
00:12:16,73 --> 00:12:23,65
talked everybody out of any
interest. At all and you get

133
00:12:23,94 --> 00:12:29,08
the call if you're good enough
with this in their family.

134
00:12:30,94 --> 00:12:36,63
And you get him out of town. So the committee
one thing that the committee has done

135
00:12:36,64 --> 00:12:39,94
at least the fat last
couple of years is passed

136
00:12:39,95 --> 00:12:44,14
a resolution at the beginning of each
negotiation cycle authorizing the

137
00:12:44,15 --> 00:12:49,32
superintendent and our attorney to negotiate
on behalf of the committee if we don't

138
00:12:49,33 --> 00:12:49,41
have

139
00:12:49,42 --> 00:12:56,49
a quorum so that allows proposals to be
exchanged. Obviously the they wouldn't

140
00:12:56,50 --> 00:13:03,43
be making any final agreements but it
doesn't allow meeting to continue when

141
00:13:03,75 --> 00:13:10,65
other folks can't be there Kevin had the
honor of being the only representative. At

142
00:13:10,66 --> 00:13:16,38
a meeting until my regional advisory board
meeting showed up at the end but. You

143
00:13:16,39 --> 00:13:22,02
know. That attendance only becomes critical
when we get to the point where we're

144
00:13:22,03 --> 00:13:28,66
looking at approving contracts
although it's. Nest of you're there.

145
00:13:30,04 --> 00:13:33,25
Most of the time because if you come in at
the end you might not understand all of

146
00:13:34,48 --> 00:13:39,65
where things headed off from. Place
so it right now we're midway through

147
00:13:39,71 --> 00:13:42,29
negotiation the current
contract and then because it's

148
00:13:42,30 --> 00:13:47,85
a one year probably right after we get
done and so this contract will open up for

149
00:13:47,86 --> 00:13:50,90
the next what will be much of a
pause maybe a sub or will be

150
00:13:50,91 --> 00:13:56,77
a part of that in the fall or late fall or
early winter start up again so if you're

151
00:13:56,78 --> 00:14:01,47
interested like maybe I want to be on the
negotiating committee for the next cycle

152
00:14:01,48 --> 00:14:04,76
it would be good to be an
alternate maybe attend

153
00:14:04,77 --> 00:14:10,05
a couple of the sessions this
spring to be able to start with

154
00:14:10,06 --> 00:14:16,98
a full speed six year. So
right now you're looking

155
00:14:16,99 --> 00:14:20,19
for an alternate so that
would be well I'd prefer

156
00:14:20,20 --> 00:14:25,06
a full member but I think an alternate
Kevin was suggesting might not be the best

157
00:14:25,07 --> 00:14:29,74
way to get your feet wet and see. If
it's something you're interested in

158
00:14:33,99 --> 00:14:37,49
not that at least eighty five percent of
our budget comes from the contract that we

159
00:14:37,50 --> 00:14:38,62
negotiated so it's

160
00:14:38,63 --> 00:14:45,52
a very powerful position very influential
committee. And I as most people know I I

161
00:14:45,53 --> 00:14:46,73
don't do it because I'm on

162
00:14:46,74 --> 00:14:50,36
a teacher's contract another district
and I don't want to make anybody feel

163
00:14:50,37 --> 00:14:54,87
uncomfortable when it comes down to why we
do what we do but it is one way that you

164
00:14:54,88 --> 00:15:01,79
really understand what the teachers do
it's kind of it's fascinating to see all

165
00:15:01,80 --> 00:15:05,94
the different pieces and parts that are
required that need to be filled by either

166
00:15:05,95 --> 00:15:12,84
teachers or support staff trying to be
encouraging. So we can come back to that

167
00:15:12,85 --> 00:15:18,27
what folks think about it up so the other
two other two committees. That we should

168
00:15:18,28 --> 00:15:22,53
talk about are finance and committing
Gage meant doing talk about finance

169
00:15:22,54 --> 00:15:26,20
commonsense you at least where the chair
bias is the second most powerful committee

170
00:15:26,21 --> 00:15:32,71
that. If you don't make it on
the negotiations. It's not

171
00:15:32,72 --> 00:15:39,58
a good second one offense to the
nominee policy commitments with. If

172
00:15:39,59 --> 00:15:42,77
you're interested in
influencing the budget at

173
00:15:42,78 --> 00:15:46,85
a great deal or level you do get an
opportunity to check in with with the

174
00:15:46,86 --> 00:15:51,00
administration and kind of give them the
guardrails and guidance that before it

175
00:15:51,01 --> 00:15:55,22
gets presented to the board we're not
making the decisions anymore but it's

176
00:15:55,23 --> 00:15:59,32
a first check and so we set up the
objectives and what we've been calling

177
00:15:59,33 --> 00:16:04,34
guardrails for the budgeting process for
them if you have any counting or finance

178
00:16:04,35 --> 00:16:09,92
background it's also helpful to you can
share that experience with when the

179
00:16:09,93 --> 00:16:13,90
administration very bring certain things
to the finance committee for input or

180
00:16:13,91 --> 00:16:20,61
approval. I'd prefer that we have an odd
number just so that we can increase our

181
00:16:20,82 --> 00:16:21,63
odds of having

182
00:16:21,64 --> 00:16:26,44
a core about our meetings we have six
members today which means four of the six

183
00:16:26,45 --> 00:16:27,62
need to be present to have

184
00:16:27,63 --> 00:16:33,82
a record and sometimes it's challenging
to get all four there. So I like five or

185
00:16:33,83 --> 00:16:40,70
seven. But I'll take however many we
can we can get and next year will

186
00:16:40,71 --> 00:16:44,17
likely be similar to the last couple
of years where we've gradually given

187
00:16:44,18 --> 00:16:47,98
a little bit more responsibility to the
administration and taken more of an

188
00:16:48,41 --> 00:16:49,62
advisory role that

189
00:16:49,63 --> 00:16:56,61
a. Role or sleep the role so.
That's the sales pitch for the

190
00:16:56,62 --> 00:17:03,23
finance candidate seasonal
it is seasonal. It's kind of

191
00:17:03,24 --> 00:17:10,05
a long season. South Korea
it starts and it starts in

192
00:17:10,06 --> 00:17:16,87
September. Around January Well
the meeting date it finishes so.

193
00:17:18,89 --> 00:17:22,69
Michael Marx currently serves on that
committee and he also would like to continue

194
00:17:22,69 --> 00:17:28,29
. I saw from the Huntington minutes if
I read it correctly that Shane how to

195
00:17:28,30 --> 00:17:34,89
pronounce it Jack with will be the
function representative So it sounds like

196
00:17:35,34 --> 00:17:41,38
Kevin had his druthers we don't have
either four or six from the sport on that

197
00:17:41,39 --> 00:17:48,25
committee. If you want to continue to
look at Kevin Michael wants to continue

198
00:17:48,26 --> 00:17:54,80
other folks who are currently on there are
eighty Beth and Cindy I'm stepping out

199
00:17:55,35 --> 00:18:01,71
OK so. Many many. Talking and and

200
00:18:02,43 --> 00:18:07,36
today let's continue in
eating. Times usually.

201
00:18:10,61 --> 00:18:16,02
We meet about six o'clock
Thursday. Thursday.

202
00:18:19,27 --> 00:18:26,11
I can do. You really think
about. OK The six one is

203
00:18:26,12 --> 00:18:26,90
not not

204
00:18:26,91 --> 00:18:33,32
a word I don't. Count Yeah actually. I
don't regard I've read your name down

205
00:18:33,33 --> 00:18:36,04
inequality out of a will sometimes

206
00:18:36,05 --> 00:18:42,70
a single one of the everybody.
I'm nothing. Need an

207
00:18:42,71 --> 00:18:49,44
alternate I could be an alternate instead
of the phone number with that number no I

208
00:18:49,45 --> 00:18:55,81
was going to say I can be the alternate. I
mean I can do finance too if you want to

209
00:18:56,96 --> 00:18:59,61
not my forte but I need you
know learning is always

210
00:18:59,62 --> 00:19:05,99
a good thing we should all strive to grow.
I would I mean alternate have as much

211
00:19:06,38 --> 00:19:10,41
say in the process as primaries and he does
not matter of yeah if I can if we just

212
00:19:10,42 --> 00:19:15,02
have five that means as always we get
three people there we go to court to get

213
00:19:15,03 --> 00:19:20,04
through the work of the day if I get seven
people interested in working on the

214
00:19:20,05 --> 00:19:25,26
committee that be even better but
I think we can keep the. Get the.

215
00:19:26,86 --> 00:19:30,32
Full time program primary
position survive and have

216
00:19:30,33 --> 00:19:35,08
a couple of years ago said you want to take
Eric make it five and then nourishment

217
00:19:35,09 --> 00:19:40,26
that six. But that's going after that yes
they getting an alternate endings and

218
00:19:40,27 --> 00:19:42,33
right now they get an alternate OK

219
00:19:47,78 --> 00:19:52,48
So are you saying you want me on there are
no second alternate and when I finish if

220
00:19:52,49 --> 00:19:59,47
I if you like the chair find
something fine. OK so I

221
00:19:59,48 --> 00:20:04,55
haven't Michael Cindy Eric and then from
Huntington Shane that makes five and then

222
00:20:04,56 --> 00:20:11,53
to alternate it in Diane. And so I

223
00:20:11,54 --> 00:20:17,71
think the last one to talk about is community
engagement committee had five members

224
00:20:17,72 --> 00:20:21,99
and three Ultra nuts and. Kirk was

225
00:20:22,00 --> 00:20:25,53
a full member who is no longer on the board
and Susan was an alternate who is no

226
00:20:25,54 --> 00:20:28,55
longer on the board if you were sure that
committee would anything you'd like to

227
00:20:28,66 --> 00:20:33,03
talk about for that
are. The most powerful.

228
00:20:36,67 --> 00:20:42,65
That he would argue many would argue like
to be on there as we. Are the ones most

229
00:20:42,73 --> 00:20:46,75
directly impacting the stakeholders and
trying to make sure that all of us are

230
00:20:46,76 --> 00:20:53,56
directly back in. So I'm happy to keep
tearing it OK how many members did you

231
00:20:53,60 --> 00:20:57,93
really want on there I really want to
engage people on there and I really don't

232
00:20:57,94 --> 00:21:02,32
care how many so if there are seven on there
you're totally fine right yeah OK the

233
00:21:02,33 --> 00:21:06,69
truck would like to be on new me in the
morning we headed you want to getting in to

234
00:21:06,70 --> 00:21:11,81
new thirty in the morning on Wednesdays
that are not there and start when there

235
00:21:11,85 --> 00:21:18,39
does and and delicacy and chips
so when things. Don't work well

236
00:21:19,14 --> 00:21:24,65
well we can switch it to another morning
so let's step right because yes we have

237
00:21:24,66 --> 00:21:28,49
staff on there and they have company evening
meetings I try to meet together in the

238
00:21:28,50 --> 00:21:31,84
morning on the right track to travel the
middle of the week if we can that makes

239
00:21:32,03 --> 00:21:38,34
six with. Ethan chip Derek
truck and I'm going.

240
00:21:40,42 --> 00:21:46,26
I need to reserve I need to find out when
that one is going to meet if. I travel in

241
00:21:46,27 --> 00:21:53,10
the middle of week so. That we
will not meet on Monday morning at

242
00:21:53,15 --> 00:21:59,35
seven thirty Yeah I had. Friday is

243
00:21:59,36 --> 00:22:04,42
a total possibility would it work just in
terms of having quantum talk let's talk

244
00:22:04,43 --> 00:22:10,10
as an alternative. Are you comfortable about
her because you'll get and I would my

245
00:22:10,11 --> 00:22:12,12
continuing as an alter as
well just in case you need

246
00:22:12,13 --> 00:22:17,46
a form so that would be OK I
could be OK Well OK great.

247
00:22:21,74 --> 00:22:24,45
Argument that. This is

248
00:22:24,46 --> 00:22:31,22
a. Devotion that's another compliment
and genuine I think and it

249
00:22:31,26 --> 00:22:35,79
after the meeting if we could get together
that would be great to talk about next

250
00:22:35,80 --> 00:22:39,43
meeting it will work with
you change Thank you

251
00:22:43,53 --> 00:22:49,81
so where I think we are we have the non
policy governance policy not meeting the

252
00:22:50,11 --> 00:22:57,01
most powerful. Of Diane and Cindy
disagree with how you heard

253
00:22:57,02 --> 00:23:02,19
from Huntington that we have Chuck on the
original advisory board who was ready to

254
00:23:02,20 --> 00:23:03,48
jump up to speed use our.

255
00:23:08,95 --> 00:23:14,92
Negotiations Michael Marks Kevin Campbell
and me and then Paul from Huntington

256
00:23:15,87 --> 00:23:22,30
finance would have Kevin
Michael Cindy Eric and

257
00:23:22,63 --> 00:23:28,04
Shane from Huntington and to alternate
city and Diane and then community

258
00:23:28,05 --> 00:23:34,17
engagements would have eighty Ethan chip
Derek galaxy and then three alternate

259
00:23:34,54 --> 00:23:41,38
chalked on the missile. To the content
is everybody happy with it well no.

260
00:23:42,67 --> 00:23:47,24
If everybody's happy with all that will
write it in ink on the on the website. Want

261
00:23:47,24 --> 00:23:50,49
. To be free to go.

262
00:23:58,83 --> 00:23:59,27
Well that took

263
00:23:59,28 --> 00:24:04,65
a little longer than I expected but I think
we're in good shape so John the next

264
00:24:05,08 --> 00:24:07,89
agenda item is to appoint enough you
voting delegate to the statewide health

265
00:24:07,90 --> 00:24:12,00
insurance initiative can you put that in
perspective for us yes so I think the

266
00:24:12,01 --> 00:24:15,06
description. Is in the.

267
00:24:19,27 --> 00:24:26,14
Sensually with the day. Right now the
statement go shooting health care for

268
00:24:26,19 --> 00:24:33,06
all. Public education employees and
each supervisor in the union gets

269
00:24:33,07 --> 00:24:38,40
a delegate we're district if you're in
unified districts to vote on whatever that

270
00:24:38,41 --> 00:24:44,69
plan is that makes sense
to folks. So we need

271
00:24:44,70 --> 00:24:50,07
a what were we the board need to or should
appoint somebody that is going to cast

272
00:24:50,08 --> 00:24:56,81
that vote. And my understanding
is they're go where near they I

273
00:24:56,82 --> 00:25:02,10
don't think they've met yet OK. I do think
we should have somebody who's already on

274
00:25:02,11 --> 00:25:05,96
negotiations who can understand how it might
all fit into what we're doing already

275
00:25:06,81 --> 00:25:10,81
you know I mean I'm happy to go on tour
for the young folks like you just have to

276
00:25:10,82 --> 00:25:11,08
press

277
00:25:11,09 --> 00:25:14,68
a button you have to keep you know the
prize of it and then you press the button

278
00:25:14,69 --> 00:25:21,44
when you're you know when it's time pretty
powerful it's it will become the most

279
00:25:21,45 --> 00:25:28,35
powerful. If I take any action. Is to
pressing that button. At the F.B.I.

280
00:25:28,39 --> 00:25:30,16
That do we need

281
00:25:30,17 --> 00:25:36,28
a formal motion for this one we
should OK. Under for that pledge

282
00:25:37,01 --> 00:25:42,34
Yeah great all in favor of appointing me
is the SU voting delegate to the statewide

283
00:25:42,35 --> 00:25:48,29
health insurance initiative we say I write
any person any. And I am appointed.

284
00:25:52,36 --> 00:25:55,67
Our next to agenda item
is to review the C.S.U.

285
00:25:55,68 --> 00:26:02,65
Bylaws I put this on. The
reorganization meeting because this

286
00:26:02,66 --> 00:26:05,53
meeting also tends to kind
of serve as the C.S.U.

287
00:26:05,57 --> 00:26:08,10
Annual meeting if you happen to
look at the bylaws there are

288
00:26:08,11 --> 00:26:11,76
a bunch of things that are supposed to
happen at that meeting most of which in our

289
00:26:11,77 --> 00:26:18,32
current board structure happen at different
times. But I just like to encourage

290
00:26:18,33 --> 00:26:23,66
folks to skim through the bylaws
at least once a year. We've talked

291
00:26:23,67 --> 00:26:30,07
a couple of times that they should probably.
Be updated because the old policy

292
00:26:30,08 --> 00:26:31,69
committee probably doesn't need to be

293
00:26:31,70 --> 00:26:36,04
a standing committee and we should probably
get community engagement on there. But

294
00:26:36,05 --> 00:26:40,28
we have been and I think probably want to
continue to wait to update those until

295
00:26:40,29 --> 00:26:47,20
our governance. Questions have been resolved
or at least look like they're in a in

296
00:26:47,21 --> 00:26:48,20
a place where they're going to be for

297
00:26:48,21 --> 00:26:53,36
a while. Does anyone have any
questions about the bylaws or.

298
00:26:56,07 --> 00:26:56,74
Anything else

299
00:27:03,08 --> 00:27:03,27
it's

300
00:27:03,28 --> 00:27:10,85
a process. Situation. There's an article
four that we have to warn I think we

301
00:27:10,86 --> 00:27:13,21
haven't actually won it it could be

302
00:27:13,22 --> 00:27:19,33
a one of our regular type meetings would
have to actually be warned and I think

303
00:27:19,34 --> 00:27:24,60
that the time period might be longer than
it was you know. And we did it before or

304
00:27:24,61 --> 00:27:29,96
after reorganization and so this is this
reflects the policy condition right after

305
00:27:29,97 --> 00:27:35,56
reorganization and. It would you know
if we get a bunch of them together like

306
00:27:35,57 --> 00:27:39,91
a bunch of changes over the course of the
year and we just mourn it all together I

307
00:27:39,92 --> 00:27:44,02
think that might be something to just kind
of wait and see where things go with the

308
00:27:44,03 --> 00:27:49,97
whole governance question. We're in any
kind of dire straits over No I think at

309
00:27:49,98 --> 00:27:53,20
some point will probably want to have an
ad hoc committee that looks at revising

310
00:27:53,21 --> 00:27:59,16
the bylaws I don't. Seem silly to appoint
that committee at this point I think it

311
00:27:59,20 --> 00:28:03,45
at some point will recognize that they
need to be updated for click for clarity

312
00:28:03,46 --> 00:28:07,94
more than anything and. You know at that
point we figure out how to get the work

313
00:28:07,95 --> 00:28:14,71
done. Last chance to talk about the

314
00:28:14,72 --> 00:28:15,22
C.S.U.

315
00:28:15,23 --> 00:28:22,19
Bylaws. OK. Good well I guess we

316
00:28:22,20 --> 00:28:27,07
can take a. Take a break from business for

317
00:28:27,08 --> 00:28:30,55
a minute here and we'll talk about our
annual meeting calendar when we get there

318
00:28:30,56 --> 00:28:36,72
but one of the things we do is try to meet
as we do meet in each town at least once

319
00:28:36,73 --> 00:28:42,80
during. A school year we also like to
hear from each of the building principals

320
00:28:42,81 --> 00:28:44,21
once during the school year just to get

321
00:28:44,22 --> 00:28:48,38
a feeling for what's what's going on and
today we're both in camel's hump and we

322
00:28:48,39 --> 00:28:52,32
have the opportunity to hear from from
our Carbone so I'm not sure which I have

323
00:28:52,33 --> 00:28:59,20
prepared but you do have the floor.
Thanks for giving me this time. So I have

324
00:28:59,48 --> 00:29:04,11
five or six things to talk about. One of
the largest things we're going on right

325
00:29:04,12 --> 00:29:09,72
now is the storm water clean water
initiative system restoration grant with the

326
00:29:09,73 --> 00:29:16,17
state of Vermont. We're going
to talk the mother of side

327
00:29:16,18 --> 00:29:21,82
organization to bring two or three or four
different projects on the property to

328
00:29:21,83 --> 00:29:27,18
design and then hopefully would design
final designs for the grants to implement

329
00:29:27,19 --> 00:29:32,06
those so the next few years we might have
some stronger restoration projects here

330
00:29:32,07 --> 00:29:39,03
on the campus. We're working with
the rise of Burma and we have

331
00:29:39,07 --> 00:29:43,21
currently we have we brought three different
sessions of nursing students were

332
00:29:43,22 --> 00:29:47,92
coming to the school as volunteers working
in our health classes and then running

333
00:29:47,93 --> 00:29:53,75
an afterschool last trimester they ran an
after school nursing babysitting program

334
00:29:53,76 --> 00:29:57,91
for our young people and we had twelve young
people sign up and we're going to run

335
00:29:57,92 --> 00:30:01,65
it again and we have another ten or twelve
interested young people signing up for

336
00:30:01,66 --> 00:30:05,69
that so it's amazing new
partnership. Nursing students.

337
00:30:08,62 --> 00:30:13,41
In terms of professional though here in
the building we were in our year three of

338
00:30:13,42 --> 00:30:18,04
our implicit bias turning this year we
were going with Rebecca has not been seen

339
00:30:18,05 --> 00:30:23,98
the way this month or last week but we've
got we focused on social justice the

340
00:30:23,99 --> 00:30:29,00
social justice standards and in particular
action in talking about what actions our

341
00:30:29,01 --> 00:30:34,13
young people can can take and we can take
care in the building to move the implicit

342
00:30:34,14 --> 00:30:41,10
bias and information and work
that we're doing forward. This

343
00:30:41,11 --> 00:30:47,42
spring we're doing our prosper parent
student educational program will be running

344
00:30:47,43 --> 00:30:53,48
a. Spring booster session this fall we had
fourteen families participate and we are

345
00:30:53,52 --> 00:30:58,12
right now have five or six dailies signed
up for the Brewster sessions so hopefully

346
00:30:58,13 --> 00:31:04,68
those will be filled like this all our
food backpack program has seen an

347
00:31:04,69 --> 00:31:10,44
uptick in participation this year hoping
again this spring to be working with the

348
00:31:10,45 --> 00:31:17,07
high school and will rate in the high schools
annual food drive to help us fill our

349
00:31:17,08 --> 00:31:22,54
pantry. Because there's certainly seem
to be an increase in the need. We're

350
00:31:22,55 --> 00:31:26,34
starting our fourth great transition so
it's always kind of fun and exciting to

351
00:31:26,35 --> 00:31:30,67
start reaching out to elementary schools
and seeing the young people the young

352
00:31:30,68 --> 00:31:37,49
families come and coming in to count the
first time. Our sustainability initiative

353
00:31:37,50 --> 00:31:40,12
this year. We're putting

354
00:31:40,13 --> 00:31:44,30
a book is on that we're trying to get
more of our young people involved in the

355
00:31:44,31 --> 00:31:50,49
school garden and in the school green house.
We have three thousand onions started

356
00:31:51,30 --> 00:31:55,53
a couple hundred spinach plants
a couple hundred tail and

357
00:31:55,54 --> 00:31:59,70
a couple hundred less so hopefully with the
greenhouse the weather will change the

358
00:31:59,71 --> 00:32:04,93
greenhouse will get going so we'll have
spring greens for the kitchen and then this

359
00:32:04,94 --> 00:32:10,09
fall the saw we had twenty one hundred
onions to the cafeteria to the kitchen so

360
00:32:10,10 --> 00:32:11,71
hopefully this year we can do

361
00:32:11,72 --> 00:32:16,54
a little better and get three
thousand and you into the kitchen.

362
00:32:19,40 --> 00:32:23,03
We had our annual Pi Day
and the last week it's

363
00:32:23,04 --> 00:32:28,53
a testament to our young people that we
handed out two hundred forty five digits of

364
00:32:28,54 --> 00:32:31,46
pi and I was very young
people to line up without

365
00:32:31,47 --> 00:32:36,20
a lot of in gold supervision in management
and they they did that under eight

366
00:32:36,21 --> 00:32:41,85
minutes. So I was really impressed because
I can't get the line to save my life and

367
00:32:41,86 --> 00:32:45,76
they could do it two hundred forty
five of them in a minute so it's goofy

368
00:32:46,26 --> 00:32:51,69
a great way to end that day and the last
piece I have is of spring sports and

369
00:32:51,70 --> 00:32:57,36
athletics with volleyballs up and going
in the play is next week twenty eight

370
00:32:57,37 --> 00:33:02,70
twenty nine thirty so if you want to see
some great performers please come. On

371
00:33:02,71 --> 00:33:09,23
those evenings that is it. Thank you.

372
00:33:11,41 --> 00:33:17,39
You might have any questions or comments
from our extended play. Series of want to

373
00:33:17,39 --> 00:33:22,77
. Thank you. Chuck.

374
00:33:24,35 --> 00:33:29,64
It's one of those loops is this where some
of the trends that you see you know last

375
00:33:29,64 --> 00:33:31,93
. Ten years or so.

376
00:33:36,85 --> 00:33:38,54
Of but there's

377
00:33:38,55 --> 00:33:46,99
a bit of puberty that never changes. I

378
00:33:47,03 --> 00:33:53,93
think. Social media electronic you
know me or tronic world or certainly

379
00:33:53,94 --> 00:34:00,42
grabbing more and more attention it is.
We have pretty decent participation in

380
00:34:00,43 --> 00:34:06,68
afterschool activities. But I think that
it's hampered by the amount of social

381
00:34:06,69 --> 00:34:13,22
media electronic devices we run or after
school activities are now. For you know

382
00:34:13,26 --> 00:34:18,59
quote unquote gaming for young people because
that with these would be. And that's

383
00:34:18,60 --> 00:34:19,80
the both a positive in

384
00:34:19,81 --> 00:34:26,45
a slightly worrisome trend
and. I think academically.

385
00:34:28,42 --> 00:34:33,34
They are much. More engaged in

386
00:34:33,66 --> 00:34:37,07
a variety of of pieces of information

387
00:34:37,08 --> 00:34:41,80
a much more kind of whittling aware of their
surroundings over the last ten years.

388
00:34:43,00 --> 00:34:49,78
Which. Again has its root facts on it but
it also is challenging because again they

389
00:34:49,79 --> 00:34:55,34
are middle school young people I also
think over the last ten years in terms of

390
00:34:55,51 --> 00:34:59,96
culture and community within the
building they're much more inclusive and

391
00:34:59,97 --> 00:35:01,82
understanding and accepting of

392
00:35:01,86 --> 00:35:07,42
a variety of different differences and
are much more open to talking about

393
00:35:07,43 --> 00:35:14,41
differences and challenges. As is larger
community society that we face. Which

394
00:35:14,42 --> 00:35:20,98
is. It's inspiring to me to be
around young people and with that

395
00:35:20,99 --> 00:35:27,84
mindset again I think the. The
flipside of that is because

396
00:35:27,85 --> 00:35:29,25
they are engaged in

397
00:35:29,26 --> 00:35:34,84
a world that is. Electronically motor to
each other we say that they're not always

398
00:35:34,88 --> 00:35:41,08
aware of the detriment that some of that
has in their communication and their

399
00:35:41,09 --> 00:35:41,53
actions.

400
00:35:48,28 --> 00:35:49,88
Three thirty or.

401
00:35:55,40 --> 00:36:02,03
A number how many. Hundred

402
00:36:02,09 --> 00:36:08,35
thirty. Or. So there's
some number of groups.

403
00:36:09,96 --> 00:36:14,18
Worried about her like. It's.

404
00:36:17,62 --> 00:36:23,77
Two weeks ago we put this survey out to
our students. Two hundred forty responses

405
00:36:23,78 --> 00:36:28,17
out of three thirty. You
know so I can go through

406
00:36:28,18 --> 00:36:31,85
a bunch of the data points I.

407
00:36:35,03 --> 00:36:40,64
I'm really concerned about ten percent of
my population. In terms of not feeling

408
00:36:40,65 --> 00:36:44,81
connected here the building in from one of
the survey said you know if you want to

409
00:36:44,82 --> 00:36:50,13
talk about the academic piece. You know
mathematics according to aspect I should be

410
00:36:50,14 --> 00:36:56,11
concerned about thirty two percent of my
students. And the math literacy twenty two

411
00:36:56,12 --> 00:37:02,62
percent so I'm ranked so I got I'm paying
attention to that in terms of. That

412
00:37:02,68 --> 00:37:08,79
social cultural piece around ten
percent of my people overall. Would.

413
00:37:10,34 --> 00:37:15,67
From what they would be you know
not going to. College with.

414
00:37:22,81 --> 00:37:27,10
The good news is that. It's all seventy
nine percent of our young people say

415
00:37:27,11 --> 00:37:29,77
they're treated well at
school seventy nine percent.

416
00:37:34,72 --> 00:37:39,88
Of creating those marks you mentioned you
haven't I think if you think yours is

417
00:37:40,63 --> 00:37:40,84
kind of

418
00:37:40,85 --> 00:37:47,43
a compact there are other resources that
you. Are you feeling like you have the

419
00:37:48,26 --> 00:37:51,15
feeling like you're there and
you think that might mean.

420
00:37:57,39 --> 00:38:04,34
Too broad. I probably want to be

421
00:38:04,35 --> 00:38:11,21
more thoughtful in my response.
Silly but there is an impact Yes I

422
00:38:11,22 --> 00:38:15,18
think it you know with
with food insecurity comes

423
00:38:15,19 --> 00:38:22,05
a lot of other. Concerns and you can get

424
00:38:22,06 --> 00:38:27,08
a system as you respond. As you respond to

425
00:38:27,09 --> 00:38:33,45
a concern other concerns arise so it's like
this exponential path that we're we go

426
00:38:33,46 --> 00:38:39,13
down in terms of how do we support young
people and the families. But yet the point

427
00:38:39,14 --> 00:38:45,08
is now the more you write in. The more the
more recess sources we have the better

428
00:38:45,09 --> 00:38:46,50
we can do it a B. And C.

429
00:38:46,51 --> 00:38:51,89
So then say oh well what about the any
rainbow we can go there to write so into

430
00:38:51,90 --> 00:38:57,78
this that it's an evolution in your Before
I would answer like where I'm heading or

431
00:38:57,79 --> 00:39:03,90
where I want to be more possible that
that's something you think you're. Great.

432
00:39:06,89 --> 00:39:12,56
You know and have said that
you. Are you're. Around.

433
00:39:13,78 --> 00:39:20,57
It and you and that concerns are what. One

434
00:39:20,75 --> 00:39:25,48
can send you back or what do you think
Erick are some of the overall reasons why

435
00:39:25,55 --> 00:39:31,98
you were single be alive and is there
anything you can think about the ethics. Or

436
00:39:32,02 --> 00:39:38,92
what do you think. That.
I say that because

437
00:39:38,93 --> 00:39:41,19
the you know the so there's

438
00:39:41,20 --> 00:39:44,62
a group of questions that we ask about you
know if you could are you could do there

439
00:39:44,63 --> 00:39:51,35
are go to adult here in the building would
you go to adult here in the building. Or

440
00:39:51,36 --> 00:39:52,58
you know we have

441
00:39:52,62 --> 00:39:56,22
a variety of questions around participation
or activities that young people are in

442
00:39:56,73 --> 00:40:01,11
and that that strand of ten percent always
seems to be No I don't have an adult

443
00:40:01,12 --> 00:40:01,81
that I would go to

444
00:40:01,82 --> 00:40:07,08
a building or ten percent that's not engaged
here in the building why young. People

445
00:40:07,09 --> 00:40:12,68
aren't engaged you know there's as many
reasons for that as there are young people

446
00:40:13,27 --> 00:40:19,01
and. If so that is an academic
piece others of it is.

447
00:40:20,80 --> 00:40:25,55
Not engaged in school and I don't school
building provides very little for me in

448
00:40:25,56 --> 00:40:32,39
terms of side interests or where
they perceive themselves. The young

449
00:40:32,40 --> 00:40:36,16
people that I I'm concerned about you know
in my head is that ten percent would be

450
00:40:36,17 --> 00:40:41,99
about their lack of. Connection to an adult
here in the building that I can that I

451
00:40:42,00 --> 00:40:42,75
can label in

452
00:40:42,90 --> 00:40:48,17
a seat where I could place them or the
lack of their participation in either the

453
00:40:48,18 --> 00:40:52,64
academic programming or the afterschool
program and more so I would lean toward

454
00:40:52,65 --> 00:40:58,86
that afterschool program being then the
academic program in terms of concern. That

455
00:40:58,87 --> 00:41:05,77
is original or split. Not big

456
00:41:05,78 --> 00:41:09,94
enough to trying to go through my head
you know that like ten percent is thirty

457
00:41:10,59 --> 00:41:15,42
three young people. Never.

458
00:41:17,52 --> 00:41:22,67
Again probably. I was. Trying to be.

459
00:41:26,13 --> 00:41:31,62
Thank you Mark or just nails one more
minute that's more general care after they

460
00:41:32,07 --> 00:41:37,14
keep things in the past Iris the years of
therapy years you've seen any significant

461
00:41:37,15 --> 00:41:44,07
change and since the patterns have. Your
form friendships and communicate with each

462
00:41:44,08 --> 00:41:49,10
other or identify themselves with people
married to their anything changing in that

463
00:41:49,27 --> 00:41:49,96
particular.

464
00:41:58,33 --> 00:42:05,17
Well yeah I think people are much more
electronically connected socially

465
00:42:05,43 --> 00:42:07,30
than ever before and

466
00:42:07,94 --> 00:42:14,37
a lot of their. Social dynamic
is through and we're trying to

467
00:42:14,85 --> 00:42:21,75
devise. You know the idea
of getting invited to

468
00:42:21,76 --> 00:42:25,72
a birthday party you no longer called the
you would not have three young person in

469
00:42:25,73 --> 00:42:26,55
this building to call

470
00:42:26,56 --> 00:42:33,56
a front. That is. That which is lacking.

471
00:42:37,93 --> 00:42:42,27
One other thing that's a really
really really good question though

472
00:42:42,28 --> 00:42:46,84
a good question and if you
like them we could have

473
00:42:46,85 --> 00:42:52,53
a whole dialogue about it but it my gut
tells me that cellphones and social media

474
00:42:52,87 --> 00:42:53,01
are

475
00:42:53,02 --> 00:43:00,04
a huge change and it but it's also the easy
answer so is there are there other things

476
00:43:00,05 --> 00:43:04,62
you know are we facing the opiate epidemic
or are there other kind of things

477
00:43:04,63 --> 00:43:10,20
outside the walls of the community that you
see are different now that answer since

478
00:43:10,21 --> 00:43:11,08
question as well.

479
00:43:18,55 --> 00:43:21,78
Certainly you know the
economic disparity is

480
00:43:21,79 --> 00:43:28,48
a huge factor the opioid academic. May or
may not play into the economic this very

481
00:43:28,64 --> 00:43:34,96
right but it certainly is
part of. The. Continuum

482
00:43:35,82 --> 00:43:36,05
there's

483
00:43:36,06 --> 00:43:42,40
a bunch of societal concerns that certainly
have impact. The lack of portable

484
00:43:42,41 --> 00:43:49,19
housing the. Area where you
live. With that what that

485
00:43:49,20 --> 00:43:50,77
means there is

486
00:43:50,78 --> 00:43:56,30
a gentrification in our current town
that is you know has an impact there is

487
00:43:56,31 --> 00:43:56,88
certainly

488
00:43:56,89 --> 00:44:04,23
a. Lack of affordable housing
that has an impact and. The

489
00:44:04,32 --> 00:44:08,36
economic disparity within this building
is growing so all that we also play

490
00:44:08,37 --> 00:44:15,21
a factor in that that I want to. I was
answering one question if you like that's

491
00:44:15,22 --> 00:44:20,98
a different question. I just you know I
was trying to say you you gave the easy

492
00:44:20,99 --> 00:44:23,64
answer just the but that's
you know that's definitely

493
00:44:23,65 --> 00:44:29,91
a thing that adults can identify with that
may be totally normal for kids so so I

494
00:44:29,92 --> 00:44:31,87
sort of picked up the factors.

495
00:44:38,23 --> 00:44:41,08
I just want to say it's great that you're
even asking the question because as we

496
00:44:41,09 --> 00:44:44,62
were talking about this I recall the fact
that most of us may have grown up in

497
00:44:44,63 --> 00:44:50,12
a time where no one asked that question
where the number of kids who were

498
00:44:50,37 --> 00:44:54,96
disenfranchised or didn't feel part of the
community didn't feel like it was on any

499
00:44:54,97 --> 00:45:00,29
particular principals radar so we to kind
of don't even have the data as to what

500
00:45:00,30 --> 00:45:05,35
happened in previous generations to come
paired to but it's great that you guys are

501
00:45:05,36 --> 00:45:07,41
asking the questions
and I appreciate that.

502
00:45:13,12 --> 00:45:19,51
Greg thank you Mark appreciate that good
to hear about all the. Good stuff going on

503
00:45:20,18 --> 00:45:22,78
our next agenda item is
the students represent

504
00:45:22,79 --> 00:45:28,81
a report. Send in the mill you do
have anything. You know is carries.

505
00:45:32,52 --> 00:45:39,38
But it will be covering the high school
news so. Sports have started the new season

506
00:45:39,43 --> 00:45:45,46
and luckily we have good weather as well
it's still cold but it's sunny so across

507
00:45:45,50 --> 00:45:50,82
are for track on the distance team so we
just went out today and the weather was

508
00:45:51,44 --> 00:45:57,44
beautiful and even with like the heat wave
on Friday it was still bearable going

509
00:45:57,45 --> 00:46:03,77
out in the pleasing cold. And
side sports we also have.

510
00:46:05,93 --> 00:46:10,73
A state level of poetry out loud is
happening now the finalists R.P.N.

511
00:46:10,74 --> 00:46:16,95
Studios and we have our own freshman
Serenus oir competing currently.

512
00:46:18,63 --> 00:46:25,36
So she competed at school level regional
And so if she does well at the state level

513
00:46:25,37 --> 00:46:30,66
she will go on to nationals just exciting.
She's also getting lots of bonus points

514
00:46:30,67 --> 00:46:33,23
in English but. We have

515
00:46:33,24 --> 00:46:39,25
a New England musical festival this or
this Thursday through Saturday which is

516
00:46:39,26 --> 00:46:45,84
a chance brings in. Students.
And music from across the

517
00:46:45,85 --> 00:46:47,25
state to have

518
00:46:47,26 --> 00:46:53,80
a chance to perform with other
musicians. I don't date for this but

519
00:46:54,28 --> 00:46:58,59
I think I think it is also at the end of
the week but there's the Vermont mock

520
00:46:58,60 --> 00:47:04,27
trial happening and so that's with different
high schools are competing in that we

521
00:47:04,28 --> 00:47:04,36
have

522
00:47:04,37 --> 00:47:11,08
a delegation going to that. And that's
hosted by the Bar Association. And then we

523
00:47:11,13 --> 00:47:15,68
also have our musical happening
at the beginning of April.

524
00:47:17,61 --> 00:47:21,67
Friday to Saturday I think we'll have
another meeting before then so I can bring

525
00:47:21,68 --> 00:47:27,97
that up again that's the part I'm counting
spelling bee and my sisters and it. So

526
00:47:27,98 --> 00:47:34,94
I've been hearing the songs
at home doing some. Things

527
00:47:34,95 --> 00:47:41,27
going the next of like humor
and just. Classic example.

528
00:47:43,76 --> 00:47:49,83
And I. Waited for the money
to kind of. I only have

529
00:47:50,61 --> 00:47:57,09
two items. For the other schools believe
Mr curve and mention the camel some reason

530
00:47:57,10 --> 00:48:02,69
the Kings compete in the armchair challenge
and finally expand. And it's brown and

531
00:48:03,20 --> 00:48:10,06
Mr carbon did mention the fall show at kind
of something friends River not the fall

532
00:48:10,07 --> 00:48:16,11
show sorry having the spring show camels
and browns river is having their spring

533
00:48:16,12 --> 00:48:20,52
musical We Will Rock You on the twenty
twenty second and twenty third of March

534
00:48:20,67 --> 00:48:25,90
coming up very soon. You know as
sort of a lot of the brands are of

535
00:48:25,91 --> 00:48:29,27
a drama department you know how much fun
that is and how meaningful it is for

536
00:48:29,28 --> 00:48:36,25
students. To go out and
check that as well you know

537
00:48:36,26 --> 00:48:43,19
twenty years from now. We're going to
have any questions or comments you know

538
00:48:43,63 --> 00:48:50,30
this is just. One question. In terms
of going to rip the. Chord support

539
00:48:50,60 --> 00:48:56,83
last night and. Yes we have
this in the student council.

540
00:48:58,43 --> 00:49:04,71
For the school to. The
black Lab matter flag.

541
00:49:06,81 --> 00:49:09,14
But the school decided
that we would have like

542
00:49:09,15 --> 00:49:13,33
a school by discussion first to that students
and understand the meaning behind the

543
00:49:13,34 --> 00:49:17,79
flag before we were able to fly
it so we start that stage.

544
00:49:23,34 --> 00:49:28,17
I just wanted to say that I I feel like I
was lucky I was able to go to the group

545
00:49:28,18 --> 00:49:35,07
a gallery and see the art show from the
high school and I was I was impressed with

546
00:49:35,08 --> 00:49:36,80
the masks I really thought that that was

547
00:49:36,81 --> 00:49:42,23
a really cool project. And I know that we'll
have some opportunity when we meet it

548
00:49:42,24 --> 00:49:45,47
m m you to you know tour around and look
at some of the things that are going on

549
00:49:45,48 --> 00:49:50,08
but it's it's wonderful to be able to see
the artwork that's being done and I was

550
00:49:50,09 --> 00:49:56,50
also impressed with the darkroom photography
and so I think that's pretty cool that

551
00:49:56,51 --> 00:49:58,53
they're actually using a
darkroom and I'm assuming that's

552
00:49:58,54 --> 00:50:05,26
a real film. I took which is like going
by the wayside nobody ever uses it

553
00:50:05,27 --> 00:50:10,02
anymore or hey it was kind of being revived
again with the whole like attraction to

554
00:50:10,07 --> 00:50:11,92
I guess there is

555
00:50:11,93 --> 00:50:17,45
a. Good story. Right but I thought it was

556
00:50:17,46 --> 00:50:24,36
a lot of fun because. Getting so used to
having everything taken digitally is. You

557
00:50:24,37 --> 00:50:25,24
feel more connected to

558
00:50:25,25 --> 00:50:28,93
a photo if you have to put in so much
effort to go through it and I've also had

559
00:50:28,94 --> 00:50:34,94
friends that like if you double exposed
something you can just experiment more and

560
00:50:34,95 --> 00:50:39,40
in different ways than you can
with. Digital photography so

561
00:50:39,41 --> 00:50:44,15
a little more gratifying than just clicking
on Vivid mode for your little photo ID

562
00:50:44,28 --> 00:50:48,68
that you took or you know doing the filters
it's more gratifying to actually be

563
00:50:48,69 --> 00:50:52,68
part of the process
because they're it's just

564
00:50:52,69 --> 00:50:59,55
a very in-depth process and it's also.
It's more collaborative because you

565
00:50:59,56 --> 00:51:02,35
work with other people on
every single step and it's

566
00:51:02,45 --> 00:51:07,77
a lot like it's so much more gratifying
to be able to have all the stuff to come

567
00:51:07,81 --> 00:51:08,97
together to create

568
00:51:09,01 --> 00:51:14,38
a finished product that it actually
looks good and so having that.

569
00:51:15,48 --> 00:51:21,90
Exhibit at the gallery I love going to
it because there are so many really

570
00:51:21,91 --> 00:51:26,57
interesting our classes at the high
school there's I don't know if there's

571
00:51:26,58 --> 00:51:33,30
a pottery showing this year but you have
pottery and fine metals and darkroom

572
00:51:33,34 --> 00:51:37,49
there's a lot of different art
mediums that students have

573
00:51:38,15 --> 00:51:44,37
a great. Pleasure thank.
You for the I was on.

574
00:51:46,21 --> 00:51:52,58
When I made the know it as well
as you. Can also then in C.P.P.

575
00:51:52,59 --> 00:51:56,85
As well so they enable. The very.

576
00:52:01,40 --> 00:52:08,30
Grateful thank you very much appreciate
that. So we are on to community comments

577
00:52:08,31 --> 00:52:12,79
are there any community comments know.

578
00:52:17,37 --> 00:52:20,98
That our next agenda item is to approve the
twenty one thousand two hundred twenty

579
00:52:21,16 --> 00:52:25,79
board meeting and. Work calendar.

580
00:52:28,91 --> 00:52:35,62
So I drafted. Trying to
stick to our one meeting

581
00:52:35,63 --> 00:52:40,100
in each town. And getting

582
00:52:41,01 --> 00:52:46,59
a principals report from each principal.
Some building tours I think there are one

583
00:52:46,60 --> 00:52:49,50
or two planned for during the meeting and

584
00:52:49,51 --> 00:52:51,74
a couple that are just in
advance of folks want to take

585
00:52:51,75 --> 00:52:53,54
a look around the building to get

586
00:52:53,55 --> 00:53:00,55
a tour from the principal. This. Is

587
00:53:00,56 --> 00:53:03,22
pretty similar to this years when I took

588
00:53:03,23 --> 00:53:07,25
a look at it it seemed to make
sense. You know obviously

589
00:53:07,26 --> 00:53:13,29
a fair amount of work that starts kind of
at the end of budget season and then as

590
00:53:13,30 --> 00:53:18,67
we begin the school year I anticipate it
will be I'm sure as we begin the board

591
00:53:18,68 --> 00:53:20,99
year in March has to be

592
00:53:21,00 --> 00:53:24,81
a fair amount of work with. With the
board reorganization of the P.G.

593
00:53:24,82 --> 00:53:26,66
Refresher kind of taken up

594
00:53:26,67 --> 00:53:34,83
a couple of couple meetings. To

595
00:53:34,96 --> 00:53:40,50
Does anyone have any feedback or any
questions really concern Sunday. January

596
00:53:40,51 --> 00:53:44,99
sixteenth that she is principals report
on the agenda and we're friends forever

597
00:53:46,28 --> 00:53:47,48
we're meeting you J.S.

598
00:53:47,49 --> 00:53:53,47
In October doing you really need to
write to me. Yeah maybe it's just

599
00:53:53,48 --> 00:53:59,40
a typo. Follow me January
sixth I see I'm looking.

600
00:54:00,98 --> 00:54:07,27
At. You know you know that
should be Brown's river there is

601
00:54:07,28 --> 00:54:10,93
a prince I report on October seventh
maybe that's just the type you.

602
00:54:14,53 --> 00:54:20,65
Entered and I had that question about if
the annual meeting will again be held

603
00:54:20,66 --> 00:54:24,23
during February break if there's any way
you can move at low earlier so that

604
00:54:24,24 --> 00:54:31,05
families don't miss that who happen to
go away during separate break. And it's

605
00:54:31,29 --> 00:54:38,23
a common theme among them.
It's just amazing if

606
00:54:38,24 --> 00:54:39,67
it doesn't make a difference to put it

607
00:54:39,68 --> 00:54:46,34
a week earlier something now the great I
think there are so to look at the articles

608
00:54:46,80 --> 00:54:53,53
say that we will. Proposed annual
budgets accordance with P.S.A.

609
00:54:53,86 --> 00:54:56,74
And into a budget shall be cordons with

610
00:54:56,94 --> 00:55:03,46
a sh up or so deceptive look up those
statutes I think that's what led us to put

611
00:55:03,47 --> 00:55:08,38
our annual meeting within ten days of
town meeting right because that my budget

612
00:55:08,39 --> 00:55:12,21
vote has to be Australian ballot which we
want to have during time we didn't get

613
00:55:12,22 --> 00:55:15,72
the most amount of votes and
then you have to have to get

614
00:55:15,73 --> 00:55:22,55
a give your meeting. Less than ten days
before and that forces you into that week

615
00:55:23,10 --> 00:55:30,04
and then Thursday was picked as the least.
At the date that was most likely to get

616
00:55:30,20 --> 00:55:35,40
the most involvement out of that vacation
week that's why we waited on Thursday.

617
00:55:39,24 --> 00:55:45,15
And typically the only. There are some
there are some routine items to get out of

618
00:55:45,16 --> 00:55:47,81
the annual meeting but generally
the the maid of that meeting is

619
00:55:47,82 --> 00:55:53,84
a budget presentation which happened to
Typically there are three of those that

620
00:55:53,85 --> 00:56:00,76
happen before those meetings. So
if we were going to be making

621
00:56:00,77 --> 00:56:05,48
some decision out of annual meeting we'd
want to think about the timing or perhaps

622
00:56:05,49 --> 00:56:05,77
holding

623
00:56:05,78 --> 00:56:11,73
a special meeting but I'm. It's unfortunate
I think that that that that we have to

624
00:56:11,74 --> 00:56:13,98
have a meeting called the annual
meeting that doesn't have

625
00:56:14,02 --> 00:56:19,64
a whole lot of things other than electing
some officers and authorizing to borrow

626
00:56:19,65 --> 00:56:21,61
money and stuff that's not of interest

627
00:56:30,23 --> 00:56:35,17
so other than the correction in January
that that would be the Browns river

628
00:56:35,43 --> 00:56:40,74
principals report are we ready
to approve the meeting schedule.

629
00:56:44,49 --> 00:56:50,35
Story to address. His role in
months. Oh Monday's school.

630
00:56:51,77 --> 00:56:56,83
For that school and that's where that
happened yes but they're not they're on

631
00:56:56,84 --> 00:57:03,63
vacation except for that and
he's. The leave so there's

632
00:57:03,64 --> 00:57:09,61
a board meeting if needed for April twentieth
and that I didn't check. But I think

633
00:57:09,62 --> 00:57:12,73
all the others are outside
of you know the conflict.

634
00:57:19,71 --> 00:57:22,93
So I don't think we need emotion we can
just sort of we can just adopt this and

635
00:57:22,94 --> 00:57:27,38
across the word draft off and obviously
food. If we need to make changes we will

636
00:57:27,39 --> 00:57:31,18
down the road but will will will go and
put this up on the website at some point.

637
00:57:34,52 --> 00:57:40,40
Great thank you and so we're on to the.

638
00:57:42,30 --> 00:57:46,51
One hundred twenty policy governance
work plan and groups agenda item.

639
00:57:49,53 --> 00:57:56,34
So our policy governance work cycle I
think makes the most sense to be tied to

640
00:57:56,40 --> 00:58:03,18
our board member Tom cycle all I did was

641
00:58:03,19 --> 00:58:09,87
to take the model of what we had done
this year and update it with the

642
00:58:09,88 --> 00:58:16,55
policies from our three year cycle that
we had talked about last year. And on the

643
00:58:16,56 --> 00:58:23,45
groups I just. Put folks in the place
of the folks who had have left the

644
00:58:23,46 --> 00:58:29,80
board. I do want to say I realize that we
didn't finish all of the work that we had

645
00:58:29,81 --> 00:58:36,08
planned to do. At this point in our

646
00:58:36,80 --> 00:58:41,07
policy governance. Adoption is
not the word I'm looking for.

647
00:58:47,34 --> 00:58:51,21
As we're as we're learning and getting used
to policy governance one of the things

648
00:58:51,22 --> 00:58:54,94
that I remember Diane bringing back from
some of the trainings is that getting the

649
00:58:54,95 --> 00:59:00,16
reasonable interpretations done is the
important piece the first time so my feeling

650
00:59:00,17 --> 00:59:05,06
when I put this together was that we can
while we didn't necessarily accomplish

651
00:59:05,07 --> 00:59:10,39
what we wanted to last year in terms of
getting reports written to me it makes more

652
00:59:10,40 --> 00:59:15,33
sense just to pick up where we are. And
start fresh with new board members and

653
00:59:15,34 --> 00:59:16,65
a new cycle and half

654
00:59:16,66 --> 00:59:22,24
a dozen new reports and hopefully things
will be easier this year and we'll be able

655
00:59:22,25 --> 00:59:27,14
to get through all of the reasonable
interpretations as well as the reports on the

656
00:59:27,15 --> 00:59:33,21
policies Diane Do we know
if Val is going to take

657
00:59:33,22 --> 00:59:37,96
a look at what we've done and make any
comment because it might be better to just

658
00:59:37,97 --> 00:59:43,47
sort of say OK this is the idea we might
change it after we meet with her if she

659
00:59:43,48 --> 00:59:47,61
kind of the you know gives us some feedback
to do touch base with but you know

660
00:59:47,72 --> 00:59:54,49
sometimes they're OK. And she
did you know but still missing

661
00:59:54,75 --> 01:00:01,40
them OK. So she may have some better ideas
is all I'm saying right so I just wanted

662
01:00:01,41 --> 01:00:05,42
to bring this bring this up in case folks
had any input or things you want to talk

663
01:00:05,43 --> 01:00:08,51
about today this might be an item that we
want to postpone to our next meeting just

664
01:00:08,52 --> 01:00:14,06
so we see what thou has to say but
I want to let folks know what.

665
01:00:16,39 --> 01:00:19,64
What I thought and what it looked
like in terms of just taking the.

666
01:00:24,56 --> 01:00:29,54
Repeating what we had tried to do started
to do last year because I thought that it

667
01:00:29,58 --> 01:00:33,46
seems to have worked pretty well compared
to what we had tried the first year or

668
01:00:33,47 --> 01:00:40,30
two. Where are you saying
that we would not finish the

669
01:00:40,31 --> 01:00:43,20
step that we were doing last year OK.

670
01:00:49,23 --> 01:00:54,33
And I'm certainly open to anything else
who ever wants to wear the P G's are can.

671
01:00:55,64 --> 01:00:56,19
It seems like

672
01:00:56,20 --> 01:01:02,28
a shame I don't think it should. Not this
is where we left off Actually I know we

673
01:01:02,29 --> 01:01:09,15
didn't finish our last policy four point
three. Superintendent monitoring one we

674
01:01:09,16 --> 01:01:12,02
would like concern is if we were to continue
to do though that that would put us

675
01:01:12,03 --> 01:01:17,84
pretty far behind in terms of trying to.
To get our heads around this model and I

676
01:01:17,85 --> 01:01:24,42
was and I was feeding off. The feedback
that we have got not specific to our work

677
01:01:24,43 --> 01:01:30,15
this year but feedback that we've
gotten in terms of. Changing the policy

678
01:01:30,16 --> 01:01:34,62
governance and getting the reason wanter
potations done before we worry about

679
01:01:34,63 --> 01:01:40,03
getting the policies done OK but it's
more the evidence part it's not completed

680
01:01:40,31 --> 01:01:44,20
monitoring the actual report where
you have the evidence that yes.

681
01:01:47,45 --> 01:01:51,56
So I think I'd like to table this item and
I'll put it on the next meeting agenda

682
01:01:51,57 --> 01:01:52,05
till we have

683
01:01:52,06 --> 01:01:57,66
a chance to hear from Val and talk to
her to make. Sure that we will do that.

684
01:02:01,98 --> 01:02:06,25
And our next agenda item is to discuss and
consider approving the superintendent

685
01:02:06,26 --> 01:02:09,60
evaluation process want
to get a little give

686
01:02:09,61 --> 01:02:16,50
a little bit of background.
We in the pre-merger days

687
01:02:16,51 --> 01:02:18,30
it was I think it was

688
01:02:18,31 --> 01:02:23,81
a lot less formal We also were not operating
under policy governance what happened

689
01:02:23,82 --> 01:02:26,12
in the pre-merger days what
individual boards would have

690
01:02:26,13 --> 01:02:29,92
a discussion and then the board their board
chair would meet up with the executive

691
01:02:29,93 --> 01:02:31,59
committee and the executive
committee would have

692
01:02:31,60 --> 01:02:38,36
a discussion and delegate things to the
executive committee board chair and I think

693
01:02:38,37 --> 01:02:39,74
that we wanted to have things

694
01:02:39,75 --> 01:02:45,88
a little more formalized or at least in
writing and I think Diane put together.

695
01:02:46,98 --> 01:02:53,52
Or is that right I started and
then worked with other folks. E.D.

696
01:02:53,78 --> 01:03:00,21
And John because there exists in
other policy governance boards some

697
01:03:00,25 --> 01:03:06,26
additional pieces aside from the monitoring
report that clarify the procedure

698
01:03:06,85 --> 01:03:13,16
for evaluating the superintendent. Just so
that we we have that more formalized on

699
01:03:13,17 --> 01:03:17,92
a timeline it always seems like in the
past couple of years we get to May or June

700
01:03:17,93 --> 01:03:23,76
and go oh we need to do that and then
you know try to put it together so this

701
01:03:23,77 --> 01:03:28,29
allows us to have two pieces one that talks
about the steps that we're going to do

702
01:03:29,08 --> 01:03:30,69
and also gives us

703
01:03:30,73 --> 01:03:37,70
a date by which we do it by May first
and it gives us the checklist.

704
01:03:38,25 --> 01:03:44,34
So that John can present us the actual
summative evaluation where you can talk we

705
01:03:44,35 --> 01:03:45,36
can see it at

706
01:03:45,37 --> 01:03:50,11
a glance when we have our meeting our
executive session all of the policies that

707
01:03:50,12 --> 01:03:56,47
have been done. And then it has that that
place afterwards you know based on our

708
01:03:56,48 --> 01:04:00,89
prior acceptance of these reports the board
reaches the following conclusions and

709
01:04:00,90 --> 01:04:05,47
that would really help guide our discussion
in executive session as to what we want

710
01:04:05,48 --> 01:04:11,46
to say and also based on those conclusions
makes the following decisions just

711
01:04:11,51 --> 01:04:15,76
clarifying the steps we had already
gone through. And they'll also be

712
01:04:15,77 --> 01:04:21,78
a paper trail that will look consistent
year to year that would be in John's file

713
01:04:21,83 --> 01:04:24,26
or what have you so it's just

714
01:04:24,27 --> 01:04:29,94
a way to sort of clean up what we had
already done and so I was looking we were

715
01:04:29,95 --> 01:04:35,20
looking through the board's approval of
this process to add these procedures to our

716
01:04:35,21 --> 01:04:41,28
policy. Is the latest version

717
01:04:42,18 --> 01:04:48,87
it should be do you see something that
is missing. Which one of the space

718
01:04:49,17 --> 01:04:56,15
that lets us add in the things that
aren't part of policy governance like for

719
01:04:56,16 --> 01:05:02,80
example the negotiations with
Huntington this year or the ID

720
01:05:02,81 --> 01:05:09,20
school issue those kinds of things they
need to be part of because they think that

721
01:05:09,65 --> 01:05:16,22
big ticket items like that or the need to
be part of the. And they aren't covered

722
01:05:16,23 --> 01:05:21,62
under policy government. So.

723
01:05:22,95 --> 01:05:27,92
That would be something
where. I did not see that in

724
01:05:27,96 --> 01:05:31,78
a state would be something that we
talked about but we did not create

725
01:05:31,79 --> 01:05:38,55
a space for it I thought we had agreed that
we would OK so. That would be something

726
01:05:38,56 --> 01:05:40,88
also we could discuss right
now and say do we need

727
01:05:40,89 --> 01:05:47,19
a space for that and would people if they
are looking at that particular summative

728
01:05:47,20 --> 01:05:54,19
piece so I can I can I make the argument
clear so so right now one hundred

729
01:05:54,20 --> 01:06:00,82
percent of our evaluation of John based
on policy governance policies which is

730
01:06:01,22 --> 01:06:06,04
typically how policy
governance boards do that.

731
01:06:08,13 --> 01:06:09,54
With my H.R.

732
01:06:09,55 --> 01:06:14,76
Background I looked at that and said there
are all kinds of mitigating factors that

733
01:06:14,77 --> 01:06:19,59
come into play that we are not taking
into account and that I would hate to be

734
01:06:19,71 --> 01:06:23,09
doing a good superintendent without having

735
01:06:23,10 --> 01:06:27,83
a place to take those things
into account. Which is

736
01:06:28,27 --> 01:06:32,02
a second paragraph like the paragraph
that says based on the board's prior

737
01:06:32,03 --> 01:06:35,92
acceptance of these reports would be a
two sentence or thing like that with

738
01:06:35,93 --> 01:06:41,97
a couple of lines that said outside
factors impacting past years

739
01:06:42,19 --> 01:06:48,90
accomplishments or impacting past years.
The past year outside where issues of the

740
01:06:48,91 --> 01:06:55,35
past year that we think are germane to the
evaluations so it feels like there may

741
01:06:55,36 --> 01:07:01,60
be many years where that is an A right but
however this past year for example I see

742
01:07:01,61 --> 01:07:05,12
three issues that would impact this. Is

743
01:07:05,13 --> 01:07:09,10
a third one having an interim second
in command I feel like that's

744
01:07:09,11 --> 01:07:12,83
a huge to trade to bring somebody in and
train them and knowing that they're going

745
01:07:12,84 --> 01:07:19,79
to leave. So yeah I feel like
we're remiss by not having that

746
01:07:19,80 --> 01:07:25,38
extra line and to do one of the Just
One which to alter the. There is

747
01:07:25,39 --> 01:07:27,31
a new segment it's just a segment with

748
01:07:27,32 --> 01:07:33,34
a tiny paragraph that said that yeah so
what we can do is we can take the facts we

749
01:07:33,35 --> 01:07:37,37
can actually prepare that and have them
brought up for the next meeting if you want

750
01:07:37,37 --> 01:07:43,50
. It said of timing on this feels strongly
I remember doing that and I don't know

751
01:07:43,51 --> 01:07:48,85
where it got dropped off in the. In the
version so I remember you having that

752
01:07:48,86 --> 01:07:52,59
discussion but I think it's important to
clue the board on that because it does

753
01:07:52,60 --> 01:07:57,36
deviate slightly from the very strict policy
you know the superintendent will only

754
01:07:57,37 --> 01:08:01,63
be evaluated against you know the
policy governance policies so it's

755
01:08:01,64 --> 01:08:08,42
a slight deviation. So. Maybe

756
01:08:08,43 --> 01:08:12,71
broader than our work although no I don't
want to work so that I guess I'm Maybe

757
01:08:12,72 --> 01:08:17,49
I'm misinterpreting but I almost read that
to be that it's we're just adding that

758
01:08:17,53 --> 01:08:22,06
in that this is what was added to his
plate in addition to all this other stuff

759
01:08:22,07 --> 01:08:25,62
we've been doing and maybe as you say
every years it's not going to be

760
01:08:25,63 --> 01:08:30,61
a principle at all but I think it's important
to note that he has that added on in

761
01:08:30,77 --> 01:08:37,25
addition to everything else and there are
big things. And I would rather instead of

762
01:08:37,26 --> 01:08:40,96
word smithing in a meeting I'd rather
bring it back to the people as

763
01:08:40,97 --> 01:08:46,24
a finished piece knowing that everyone
thinks we are on the right track with this

764
01:08:46,75 --> 01:08:50,56
and we would be using it this
year May first time frame.

765
01:08:53,55 --> 01:08:53,95
Even as

766
01:08:53,96 --> 01:09:01,58
a question. I'm curious as
to whose. Responsibility

767
01:09:01,59 --> 01:09:07,24
this would be to do these last two questions
and then potentially the third. And

768
01:09:07,25 --> 01:09:13,83
then. This one of the chair right up and
that we come back to the time to hash it

769
01:09:13,84 --> 01:09:20,46
out as part of the evaluation process
is not happening. Workgroups in

770
01:09:20,47 --> 01:09:26,20
every or the board and and
then just curious as to.

771
01:09:29,13 --> 01:09:33,80
Why conclusions. It does
feel like this is kind of

772
01:09:33,81 --> 01:09:39,18
a checklist and then we're kind of have the
bottom are here to get kind of more of

773
01:09:39,19 --> 01:09:45,40
a narrative I'm just curious as to why you
know John's at school but we had some of

774
01:09:45,41 --> 01:09:50,71
the calls for John was that be part of
this and maybe that's that's kind of what

775
01:09:50,75 --> 01:09:55,35
we're saying based on the foregoing
conclusions it would set these goals but I

776
01:09:55,36 --> 01:10:01,15
guess I'm missing because I'm missing a
piece here because it sounds like there's

777
01:10:01,16 --> 01:10:02,91
a hard and with a conclusion

778
01:10:03,91 --> 01:10:08,15
a little bit beyond renewing the contract
that's the sole conclusion that we're

779
01:10:08,41 --> 01:10:12,99
we're looking for that's something that we
end up doing already that we talk about

780
01:10:13,00 --> 01:10:15,11
in executive session
and so this is kind of

781
01:10:15,12 --> 01:10:21,06
a place to put that that was
how. It was discussed as

782
01:10:21,87 --> 01:10:27,44
as on and as its usefulness in terms of
that spot so we would not be adding on more

783
01:10:27,45 --> 01:10:32,02
goals to John because John's goals
are embedded within our and policy.

784
01:10:34,28 --> 01:10:37,95
And other things that he says friends not
that we don't set other goals for him

785
01:10:40,64 --> 01:10:45,61
would it be appropriate to be part of that
process to help jog their goals or is

786
01:10:45,62 --> 01:10:52,59
that not policy governance that. Certainly
wasn't what we envisioned when we were

787
01:10:52,60 --> 01:10:58,16
talking about it because if we look at our
our superintendent devaluation policy

788
01:10:58,77 --> 01:11:02,56
that we've approved there's no place
for it it's pretty clear that the

789
01:11:02,60 --> 01:11:07,61
superintendent will be evaluated only on
the written policies and if we're not

790
01:11:07,62 --> 01:11:14,30
happy with them then we change the
policies kind of thing. So. So

791
01:11:14,31 --> 01:11:18,15
basically it was envisioning
that we would. Have

792
01:11:18,16 --> 01:11:22,24
a place to sort of have an evaluation
document so that when we meet together we've

793
01:11:22,25 --> 01:11:28,32
got the data and it's
filled in. Making the the

794
01:11:28,49 --> 01:11:34,77
conclusions. And the following you know
decision in terms of rehire contract

795
01:11:34,78 --> 01:11:37,78
extension and then as he said there was

796
01:11:37,79 --> 01:11:42,93
a discussion about the mitigating or special
circumstances that we may want to take

797
01:11:42,94 --> 01:11:48,60
into consideration and some of those may
be positive or negative commendations on

798
01:11:48,61 --> 01:11:53,37
the job well done or or
whatever allowing us to have

799
01:11:53,38 --> 01:11:56,90
a little bit of sort of non P.G.

800
01:11:57,20 --> 01:12:03,60
Leeway in that area. We also talked
about doing this somewhat in

801
01:12:04,21 --> 01:12:09,48
our policy governance groups to get some
small group feedback and I actually do

802
01:12:09,49 --> 01:12:13,16
forget which way we decided because I know
we end up meeting in executive session

803
01:12:13,17 --> 01:12:19,100
to do the final bits of this
so can you remember. That we

804
01:12:20,01 --> 01:12:26,41
talked about having the small group serve
Peachey clear meet and then having

805
01:12:26,53 --> 01:12:30,43
a representative of each group kind
of share that so that people had

806
01:12:30,44 --> 01:12:33,66
a chance to count coherent
thoughts and it wasn't

807
01:12:33,67 --> 01:12:40,35
a three hour meeting and we didn't
want the. Chair to be writing down

808
01:12:40,54 --> 01:12:45,26
like fifteen different statements from
people in executive session to add on to it

809
01:12:45,27 --> 01:12:52,08
we wanted to be able to come to some rather
brief statements. And conclusions but.

810
01:12:53,68 --> 01:12:54,84
It sounds like we need to do

811
01:12:54,85 --> 01:12:58,32
a little bit more fleshing out before
we bring this back to you for you know

812
01:12:58,33 --> 01:13:02,71
a final approval so these are good questions
but this was something that I kind of

813
01:13:02,72 --> 01:13:07,84
did in early January and now we
need to bring it back. To have

814
01:13:07,85 --> 01:13:14,76
a certain free wrap up not only
here up and up. Go away so when I

815
01:13:14,77 --> 01:13:21,36
was thinking about this. I think arcade
arguably anything that happens during the

816
01:13:21,37 --> 01:13:26,36
year. That would cause us to
incorporate that event into

817
01:13:26,37 --> 01:13:32,87
a performance review could be.
Categorized under some of these policies

818
01:13:33,97 --> 01:13:37,49
you could you could force yourself
to say OK this thing happened it was

819
01:13:37,50 --> 01:13:43,16
a focus area I'm going to say that that
fits under your belt seven emergency

820
01:13:43,17 --> 01:13:48,84
superintendent succession for example.
If we did that then maybe we could hold

821
01:13:48,85 --> 01:13:55,36
ourselves to this but my question is
regardless. Is our expectation that those

822
01:13:55,51 --> 01:14:01,86
those incidental reports come aligned
to these executive limitations so that

823
01:14:02,68 --> 01:14:09,35
it will that get incorporated into the
annual review process because what I'm

824
01:14:09,36 --> 01:14:12,58
seeing here and I'm probably
not clear but we have

825
01:14:12,59 --> 01:14:19,40
a column called Date monitored we monitor
these every three years I think the and

826
01:14:19,41 --> 01:14:25,55
policies every year the executor mentation
the every three years so I don't think

827
01:14:25,56 --> 01:14:31,17
it's just I don't think we're saying it's
just the formal three year monitoring of

828
01:14:31,18 --> 01:14:37,04
the report it's anything that happens
incidentally during the year relates to that

829
01:14:37,05 --> 01:14:43,48
policy would be incorporated
into the. Evaluation

830
01:14:44,06 --> 01:14:50,97
right. Not sure I'm quite following you
as to how we would do that again it's

831
01:14:51,68 --> 01:14:52,54
this is this is

832
01:14:52,55 --> 01:14:57,91
a firm don't know about the house but I
mean is it more about intent great if if we

833
01:14:57,92 --> 01:15:04,61
have wanted here. Let's just say financial
planning and budget. And it's good to

834
01:15:04,62 --> 01:15:09,70
talk about this when times are good and
this is it personal it's just talking about

835
01:15:09,71 --> 01:15:10,63
like OK what if we had

836
01:15:10,64 --> 01:15:15,66
a horrible planing she season the budget
didn't get prepared in time and it was

837
01:15:15,67 --> 01:15:19,36
they were ready to present it up
to the voters right that would be

838
01:15:19,37 --> 01:15:24,63
a really horrible situation and we would
capture that under that you know something

839
01:15:24,64 --> 01:15:28,90
happened under that policy but if we didn't
review it that you're right we would

840
01:15:28,91 --> 01:15:32,33
still right there would be
and it would have to cart

841
01:15:32,34 --> 01:15:35,53
a report to be issued yet in
that so we could call for

842
01:15:35,54 --> 01:15:40,31
a report because we felt something needs
to be reported so I'm just looking at it

843
01:15:40,32 --> 01:15:45,22
in a practical matter.
What usually happens in

844
01:15:45,23 --> 01:15:51,79
a cycle and trying to solve the
the process and looking at the

845
01:15:51,80 --> 01:15:58,27
pieces about that in terms of the logistics
and what usually happens is that we

846
01:15:58,31 --> 01:16:03,44
proceed along and then at the end of April
or May we go oh. By the way we need to

847
01:16:03,45 --> 01:16:07,88
do that and so this is seeking to give us

848
01:16:08,35 --> 01:16:13,17
a planning tool. And an
execution tool to do it in

849
01:16:13,18 --> 01:16:16,65
a consistent manner so if you have

850
01:16:16,66 --> 01:16:22,13
a specific suggestion as to how that would
happen within this tool that's what I

851
01:16:22,14 --> 01:16:28,61
would be looking for. I think I
like the idea of focusing on those

852
01:16:28,62 --> 01:16:34,21
policies of the. Last ten because that's
what we've said is the job description

853
01:16:34,28 --> 01:16:37,71
right that's what he's doing
I think we might need to be

854
01:16:37,72 --> 01:16:42,95
a little bit more open in terms of how they
get evaluated rather than just calling

855
01:16:42,96 --> 01:16:47,95
out. Date in which the
policy was last monitored as

856
01:16:47,96 --> 01:16:52,80
a measure So in other words having another
column well for disposition column would

857
01:16:52,81 --> 01:16:58,20
have right I thought that was the disposition
of. The right and I thought that was

858
01:16:58,21 --> 01:17:03,48
really accepted or not right but I think
when you do some do some work offline I

859
01:17:03,49 --> 01:17:06,86
don't know how much time you want to spend
you know bored trying to write that this

860
01:17:06,87 --> 01:17:10,31
was a good feedback. It's really

861
01:17:10,35 --> 01:17:17,16
a propaganda tool having That is great
in the timelines but for gracious. OK OK

862
01:17:18,71 --> 01:17:23,86
So anyone who has any suggestions how far
this particular thing is if you and you

863
01:17:23,87 --> 01:17:28,16
and I were working on it we would take
suggestions and thoughts so that we can

864
01:17:28,17 --> 01:17:29,44
bring you back something that works

865
01:17:29,45 --> 01:17:35,88
a little bit better meets everybody's needs
How does that sound because you're what

866
01:17:35,89 --> 01:17:41,77
I think has yet to come
from yeah that's right E.D.

867
01:17:41,78 --> 01:17:43,60
Kevin says on the right yes OK.

868
01:17:51,22 --> 01:17:56,47
Great thank you good discussion thank you
so we're on to the consent to John I

869
01:17:56,48 --> 01:17:57,19
would entertain

870
01:17:57,20 --> 01:18:02,84
a motion to approve the content agenda.
Second grade so motions were made and

871
01:18:02,85 --> 01:18:08,60
seconded to approve the concept of gender.
So just to let the new folks know the

872
01:18:08,61 --> 01:18:12,33
consensus Gena consists of items that
are retained that we expect to be

873
01:18:12,34 --> 01:18:16,51
non-controversial we do typically
kind of run down those and give folks

874
01:18:16,52 --> 01:18:21,17
a chance to either make comments or
ask questions. And it just makes

875
01:18:21,18 --> 01:18:26,34
a little bit more efficient for these items
to not take individual votes on each

876
01:18:26,38 --> 01:18:31,56
each of them I'll start off with the first
item on there which is to appoint me and

877
01:18:31,57 --> 01:18:36,89
Cindy to review the golden apple nominations
that's something that Susan and I have

878
01:18:36,90 --> 01:18:38,28
been doing for

879
01:18:38,32 --> 01:18:46,04
a number of years. Dating back to
pre-merger the idea is that. The

880
01:18:46,47 --> 01:18:52,17
that. And Cindy has volunteered to jump
in and Susan's place the the idea is that

881
01:18:52,36 --> 01:18:53,19
Cindy and I would take

882
01:18:53,20 --> 01:19:00,07
a look at the Golden Apple.
Applications nominations and that

883
01:19:00,08 --> 01:19:03,67
those for ones that we think that the board
should approve so that when we bring it

884
01:19:03,68 --> 01:19:03,82
to

885
01:19:03,83 --> 01:19:10,79
a board meeting we're not all
starting at ground zero. So that's

886
01:19:10,80 --> 01:19:14,28
the. That's it in

887
01:19:14,29 --> 01:19:21,78
a nutshell for the goal novels
which are coming up soon. So

888
01:19:21,79 --> 01:19:28,70
does anybody have any questions. About
that. And then if not that well we could

889
01:19:28,71 --> 01:19:33,94
move on to the principal appointment
any comments or questions there

890
01:19:37,56 --> 01:19:42,64
and seeing on the Superintendent reports
that folks want to talk about anything in

891
01:19:42,65 --> 01:19:49,20
the superintendent reporter ask any questions
there you know and anything you want

892
01:19:49,21 --> 01:19:51,45
to go beyond what's not in writing.

893
01:20:00,07 --> 01:20:06,64
And when you talk about grade level
staffing at. Brown stripper Are we

894
01:20:06,65 --> 01:20:11,23
reducing staff here in the
district or is that there was

895
01:20:11,24 --> 01:20:17,45
a reduction in this is in the OR in the
budget mission the reducing one teacher at

896
01:20:17,46 --> 01:20:24,04
ground zero for the neuroma so
reconfiguring. Does that mean that scarce in

897
01:20:24,05 --> 01:20:25,19
future edition

898
01:20:25,50 --> 01:20:29,34
a teacher that is not going to be rehired
for next year already know we had

899
01:20:29,35 --> 01:20:35,92
a. One year position because somebody left
in the leaders will be the thing anybody

900
01:20:35,92 --> 01:20:35,92
.

901
01:20:43,62 --> 01:20:48,59
I don't think I had a few questions
I was great that everyone who had

902
01:20:48,60 --> 01:20:51,85
a choice for schools in the U. ID
is going to able to go to J.F.K.

903
01:20:51,89 --> 01:20:54,48
Or yes they chose to give us

904
01:20:54,49 --> 01:20:58,99
a sense of the scale like that use of my
questions about this and what in the case

905
01:20:59,00 --> 01:21:03,33
like the sizes of the schools
will be next year A.C.S. And J.S.

906
01:21:04,27 --> 01:21:08,88
So we had. Thirteen U.C.S.D.

907
01:21:08,88 --> 01:21:15,34
. Underhill. Resident choice to go to

908
01:21:15,35 --> 01:21:18,92
Jericho. We had for sure

909
01:21:18,93 --> 01:21:24,78
a couple of families that want to go to
Underhill center we have one Jericho family

910
01:21:24,79 --> 01:21:31,52
that. Has choice or Richmond and
we have one Underhill family that.

911
01:21:32,89 --> 01:21:37,62
Has choice to Richmond and we
have a Walton family who has

912
01:21:37,87 --> 01:21:44,22
a choice to Richmond. So our numbers are
those are the way they are we also have

913
01:21:44,91 --> 01:21:51,04
a choice back and forth one from can look
to Browns river and one from Browns river

914
01:21:51,05 --> 01:21:57,75
to camp. So the the school size is really

915
01:21:57,76 --> 01:22:01,89
close of what we had when you factor in
school choice that's where we had the

916
01:22:01,90 --> 01:22:07,87
annual report so the jackal's looking like
three twenty approximately three twenty

917
01:22:08,36 --> 01:22:10,83
and Underhill center one twenty seven.

918
01:22:18,56 --> 01:22:20,30
To do do you have

919
01:22:20,31 --> 01:22:26,61
a program so that of the children.
Under her idea what was the split.

920
01:22:28,08 --> 01:22:34,39
She like most of them chose Jarkko
Yes yes some of the choices.

921
01:22:35,41 --> 01:22:40,83
From under the light the issue. She was

922
01:22:40,84 --> 01:22:47,65
a jerk. Thirteen family. And
and under House on what is

923
01:22:47,66 --> 01:22:53,94
what before. Ninety three students so
it's gone from ninety three to one twenty

924
01:22:53,95 --> 01:23:00,60
seven and you're across going
from one to one fifty. One

925
01:23:00,61 --> 01:23:06,64
to three twenty. Well and even

926
01:23:07,30 --> 01:23:10,76
fractionally. Going to

927
01:23:10,77 --> 01:23:17,64
a place. To start an increase
so the numbers are pretty

928
01:23:17,65 --> 01:23:24,03
close to what you know I think we
anticipated. To that and we met with the

929
01:23:24,07 --> 01:23:30,31
principals and we looked at all the
numbers all the the grade levels and the

930
01:23:31,15 --> 01:23:34,88
principals really felt
like we could. Offer

931
01:23:34,89 --> 01:23:39,88
a choice to the families and wanted it
and felt like this was important. In the

932
01:23:39,89 --> 01:23:44,41
first year particularly of repurposing
under the lady we were able to make that

933
01:23:44,42 --> 01:23:44,77
happen.

934
01:23:52,83 --> 01:23:58,45
Anything else for John I'm a super times
I'm sorry again but I also just had

935
01:23:58,46 --> 01:24:03,31
a question about I know there's still in
the process of the architects but when

936
01:24:03,32 --> 01:24:08,39
will we have a sense of the plan for the
the building three purposing and just

937
01:24:08,40 --> 01:24:10,39
a question with the Y.M.C.A.

938
01:24:10,40 --> 01:24:14,60
Birth to preach a wider
that like you were talking

939
01:24:14,61 --> 01:24:19,26
a pulmonary talks with them going Well
what is the scale that you're anticipating

940
01:24:19,27 --> 01:24:21,79
for the very first year
of the birth to pre-K.

941
01:24:21,80 --> 01:24:27,95
Like how many kids are we kind of estimating.
So first we have some conceptual

942
01:24:27,96 --> 01:24:34,85
designs in there putting estimate to that
conceptual design I should have with

943
01:24:35,22 --> 01:24:41,94
or you may. Not sooner.
But the plates were on

944
01:24:41,95 --> 01:24:48,23
track to approximately what we were
thinking it would cost. So that's some good

945
01:24:48,24 --> 01:24:55,04
news. And then burst the scale
that we talked about with the

946
01:24:55,08 --> 01:25:01,36
folks from. A

947
01:25:01,59 --> 01:25:08,33
loser in the. You know because there's
no it's not very suffice it's

948
01:25:08,71 --> 01:25:09,65
their name is changed

949
01:25:09,66 --> 01:25:15,86
a couple times because last Ok so they
thought that the area that we talked about

950
01:25:15,87 --> 01:25:21,85
would serve about twenty seven
birth to three children. Which

951
01:25:22,70 --> 01:25:22,88
is

952
01:25:22,89 --> 01:25:30,04
a pretty significant. Number I think
for care. And that I would really

953
01:25:30,05 --> 01:25:36,99
be that's sort of that the face really the
this project. Because that we didn't.

954
01:25:38,27 --> 01:25:41,04
We didn't there will be some renovations

955
01:25:41,05 --> 01:25:46,78
a need to happen to the birth of the area
that we didn't you know we didn't account

956
01:25:46,79 --> 01:25:52,31
for in the. In the repurpose and. There's

957
01:25:52,32 --> 01:25:58,60
a couple of phases. Phase one make sure
the rooms are ready for Students First is

958
01:25:58,61 --> 01:26:03,60
school face two is to have
central office in there by.

959
01:26:05,68 --> 01:26:11,79
Jerry one and two thousand and twenty and
say three is. To have received directly

960
01:26:11,83 --> 01:26:12,12
there's

961
01:26:12,13 --> 01:26:18,58
a requirement from birth to three areas
will be will need to be working with. The

962
01:26:18,59 --> 01:26:23,98
provider and with. The GO kids.

963
01:26:25,41 --> 01:26:29,55
Said that they can help us in consultation
around the worst thing we're going to be

964
01:26:29,56 --> 01:26:32,73
able to secure some grants to be
able to fund some of that there's

965
01:26:32,74 --> 01:26:38,21
a lot of money out there so right now
we're on track to have students in their

966
01:26:38,70 --> 01:26:44,06
beginning of next school year and to have
our office in there by January one which

967
01:26:44,07 --> 01:26:49,87
was the target. To be reasonable. All of.

968
01:26:51,07 --> 01:26:55,60
That I think so that's what we really want
to investigate me and with this is new

969
01:26:56,33 --> 01:27:02,57
this is something new very new for school
districts to take on and so we're we are

970
01:27:02,58 --> 01:27:09,02
going to be able to afford. To pay
for all that and that was never.

971
01:27:10,60 --> 01:27:17,35
A concept that I thought
would work so. Our goal is

972
01:27:17,36 --> 01:27:24,11
to right now the goal would be to try
to have. Potentially somebody in

973
01:27:24,12 --> 01:27:30,30
there before the end of next school year
or the beginning of two thousand and

974
01:27:30,31 --> 01:27:36,57
twenty one or sooner ending on you know
the renovation in the building that can

975
01:27:36,58 --> 01:27:40,52
take place but the people
were. The folks from the Y.

976
01:27:40,53 --> 01:27:44,66
That I talked to. And that's what
this is what the wideouts I mean

977
01:27:44,67 --> 01:27:51,50
a this is really. They have the
capacity and experience and birth to

978
01:27:51,51 --> 01:27:58,41
three in our area they said the space is
that for and so did the people. Let's

979
01:27:58,42 --> 01:28:03,96
go see kids so exciting
some new territory thing.

980
01:28:07,22 --> 01:28:11,46
Obviously elected have current funding and
I think that there will be funders who

981
01:28:11,47 --> 01:28:16,23
will see this as being something
that has the potential to be

982
01:28:16,24 --> 01:28:23,17
a statewide model because this is potentially
an asset for the smallest elementary

983
01:28:23,18 --> 01:28:27,66
schools around the state that probably
are going to be close and this is an

984
01:28:27,67 --> 01:28:34,51
opportunity to do something to attract
young families and somehow helps to

985
01:28:35,01 --> 01:28:38,55
take the place of an
elementary school closes.

986
01:28:42,87 --> 01:28:46,23
Around cycle so I don't answer
your question so I should have you

987
01:28:46,45 --> 01:28:52,35
a good estimate may. For forging ahead.

988
01:28:55,81 --> 01:29:01,08
I think else for John on the
superintendent's report and we also have

989
01:29:01,17 --> 01:29:06,16
a couple sets of minutes to approve any
questions or corrections about the minutes

990
01:29:12,48 --> 01:29:18,06
but there's nothing else on to discuss
on the content agenda then I will.

991
01:29:19,49 --> 01:29:19,82
Call for

992
01:29:19,83 --> 01:29:26,53
a vote of all in favor of approving the
content to gently say I. Say no. And the

993
01:29:26,73 --> 01:29:33,36
motion passes Thank you. Were on
to committee an advisory committee

994
01:29:33,37 --> 01:29:40,25
reports. I did attach some you can call it

995
01:29:40,26 --> 01:29:43,26
up John the. Presentation is

996
01:29:43,27 --> 01:29:47,78
a grab for site and there I did attach

997
01:29:47,79 --> 01:29:52,95
a few slides from the presentations that
we saw at the last meeting one from the

998
01:29:52,96 --> 01:29:58,87
Center for Technology Essex and
one from. The political center.

999
01:29:59,94 --> 01:30:04,26
And I just kind of wanted to quickly point
this out to you should be able to pull

1000
01:30:04,27 --> 01:30:08,59
them off at home because
of the second job.

1001
01:30:12,08 --> 01:30:18,28
So. We just don't normally see what the
enrollments are for these. For these things

1002
01:30:18,50 --> 01:30:24,55
and it's nice to see kind of interesting
to see the sort of breakdown of. Course

1003
01:30:24,56 --> 01:30:29,63
most of the students in Essex are coming
from Essex. Sometimes and you'll see one

1004
01:30:29,64 --> 01:30:33,99
of the later slides students far away
depending on what programs they're looking

1005
01:30:34,00 --> 01:30:37,97
for. I just want to go through this quickly
and let somebody else question who's

1006
01:30:37,98 --> 01:30:44,57
going to the next line. And so there's

1007
01:30:44,58 --> 01:30:49,43
a list of the offerings they have some for
some of the Lord Grantham some for the

1008
01:30:49,63 --> 01:30:56,03
opera grades and efforts of the
full day program. Then there's

1009
01:30:56,04 --> 01:31:02,61
a wide variety of things that students
choose to do from automotive to Cosmetology

1010
01:31:02,62 --> 01:31:08,60
that. That are out more traditional and
then there's some newer ones on like

1011
01:31:08,61 --> 01:31:14,44
a good assistance technology. If we go
on to the next screen John and if your

1012
01:31:14,45 --> 01:31:17,40
health care. This is

1013
01:31:17,41 --> 01:31:22,64
a listing of the connections that the Essex
Technical Center has with the C C B S

1014
01:31:22,65 --> 01:31:23,60
with P.T.C.

1015
01:31:24,18 --> 01:31:30,21
And some of necking as well so students
who are in some of the programs there are

1016
01:31:30,22 --> 01:31:36,44
able to get sometimes college credit. At
the beginning of our last meeting we met

1017
01:31:36,45 --> 01:31:42,50
a young man I think is from
South Burlington. And he

1018
01:31:43,28 --> 01:31:49,72
was his project I think he called the
capstone project was designing software.

1019
01:31:51,12 --> 01:31:54,93
From soft to actually
try and go in and build

1020
01:31:54,99 --> 01:32:00,34
a building with concrete I don't know how
practical it is but he had an auger on

1021
01:32:00,35 --> 01:32:05,30
the feeder of the head was running the
software to go do this I don't know that

1022
01:32:05,31 --> 01:32:10,83
it's actually practical but he has and
it's amazing his intent is to be able to

1023
01:32:10,84 --> 01:32:14,13
help people in areas where there are business
asters and have equipment that could

1024
01:32:14,14 --> 01:32:20,39
roll in and build buildings for them
quickly and it was the thing that was most

1025
01:32:20,40 --> 01:32:27,10
amazing was. That this kid was doing what
he loved and that's where he wanted to be

1026
01:32:27,20 --> 01:32:33,91
and nothing against. The high school
he came from but that he wanted to

1027
01:32:33,92 --> 01:32:39,48
be in that in that classroom focused on
that stuff and that was right for him and

1028
01:32:39,49 --> 01:32:42,01
that was really really need
to see there's obviously

1029
01:32:42,02 --> 01:32:47,03
a lot of different areas where. Different
programs that are available to teach Can

1030
01:32:47,04 --> 01:32:52,60
we go on. And.

1031
01:32:54,54 --> 01:32:58,21
So in addition to college credit there are
some industry recognized credentials.

1032
01:32:59,34 --> 01:33:04,31
And many students are able to get those I
know for example in automotive you can

1033
01:33:04,32 --> 01:33:07,75
get some credentials that would make it
easier for you to go to an auto dealer and

1034
01:33:07,76 --> 01:33:11,14
to get a job and those are
available in a bunch of such

1035
01:33:11,15 --> 01:33:14,27
a different field one of
the big things that C.T.E.

1036
01:33:14,28 --> 01:33:17,29
Is that a lot of their
students are involved in

1037
01:33:17,30 --> 01:33:22,48
a co-op where they'll go and actually work
with somebody and get some real hands on

1038
01:33:22,49 --> 01:33:26,45
experience. Of going.

1039
01:33:31,07 --> 01:33:34,84
And I just threw this in because they were
pretty pretty proud that eight of their

1040
01:33:34,85 --> 01:33:38,72
computer animation web design students
work up to the Champlain College in their

1041
01:33:38,73 --> 01:33:40,60
early decision period for

1042
01:33:40,61 --> 01:33:46,90
a very competitive game design program
for the students that roll there are

1043
01:33:46,94 --> 01:33:51,95
a lot of doors opened and it seems to really
help them hone in on some skills that

1044
01:33:51,96 --> 01:33:57,84
just aren't available in our.
In our high school for example.

1045
01:33:59,21 --> 01:34:04,94
That we can go on when it's been too long
in this district you can see here. The

1046
01:34:04,95 --> 01:34:11,32
funding for technical centers is they
build a sending high school based on

1047
01:34:11,33 --> 01:34:15,79
a six semester rolling average. So we get

1048
01:34:15,80 --> 01:34:21,24
a bill based on how many of our students
have attended over the past six semesters

1049
01:34:21,68 --> 01:34:25,99
and if you have to time the time to put
that up you'll see sometimes that you know

1050
01:34:26,00 --> 01:34:32,19
if one kid decides to go from Stowe Stowe
really pays for that over three years.

1051
01:34:33,25 --> 01:34:39,23
And so it's interesting that you know the
interesting how their finances work. The

1052
01:34:39,24 --> 01:34:44,25
center in Essex on the next slide they
were level funded last year this year

1053
01:34:44,48 --> 01:34:51,01
they're looking for less than one
percent increase. And then I've got

1054
01:34:51,02 --> 01:34:57,66
a few slides from Burlington that have the
same sort of information are. What are

1055
01:34:57,67 --> 01:34:59,62
unique to them there are
different programs there are

1056
01:34:59,63 --> 01:35:06,52
a half day program actually
point five. And they draw

1057
01:35:06,53 --> 01:35:06,74
from

1058
01:35:06,75 --> 01:35:11,98
a lot of. Different schools as well here
we can see that fifteen of them used to

1059
01:35:11,99 --> 01:35:16,60
dance. There the bulk of course are coming
from Burlington one hundred thirty two.

1060
01:35:17,91 --> 01:35:22,23
How many are going to win every. Three.

1061
01:35:25,25 --> 01:35:29,72
They offer some of the same programs but
they also offer some different programs in

1062
01:35:29,73 --> 01:35:36,42
the next slide shows. So they're aerospace
and aviation technology is the only one

1063
01:35:36,43 --> 01:35:42,61
in the state they sometimes draw students
from very far away they offer like the

1064
01:35:42,62 --> 01:35:46,54
automotive technology program is the
same as in Essex but it would take

1065
01:35:46,55 --> 01:35:49,47
a student Burlington two
years to accomplish what

1066
01:35:49,48 --> 01:35:52,49
a student does an Essex because the
Burlington program is half day.

1067
01:35:57,94 --> 01:36:04,84
And I think we can go on they also
have agreements with. C C D N B

1068
01:36:04,85 --> 01:36:09,92
T C In terms of being able to complete that
same sort of college level course work

1069
01:36:09,92 --> 01:36:16,31
. And some industry recognized credentials
and I think the last slide is just also

1070
01:36:16,32 --> 01:36:22,80
showing their six semester rolling average.
In terms of what they charge the Senate

1071
01:36:22,81 --> 01:36:29,66
districts. So it it just seems
seem to me that since I had just

1072
01:36:29,67 --> 01:36:30,99
gotten this presentation about

1073
01:36:31,00 --> 01:36:35,55
a month ago and since I'm passing the
reins over to to Chuck in terms of their

1074
01:36:35,59 --> 01:36:40,77
regional vice reform that I wanted to to
just throw some of the information at this

1075
01:36:40,78 --> 01:36:45,89
board if you are interested in more I can
certainly send you the full presentations

1076
01:36:45,90 --> 01:36:50,96
that we saw but I tried to kind of pull out
the. Pieces that I thought would be of

1077
01:36:50,97 --> 01:36:56,99
interest to to the sport. Even Gerson I'm

1078
01:36:57,00 --> 01:37:03,58
a my cancer questioner for John so
fifty eight total students attended

1079
01:37:03,96 --> 01:37:05,99
tech centers in the total population of

1080
01:37:06,00 --> 01:37:12,72
a new nine hundred. Fifty eight

1081
01:37:12,73 --> 01:37:18,02
fifteen down there and is it safe to say
half of those are eleventh and twelfth

1082
01:37:18,03 --> 01:37:23,25
grade generally so has
little less than ten percent

1083
01:37:23,26 --> 01:37:28,73
a little more than ten percent of eleventh
twelfth graders are attending tech scene

1084
01:37:29,79 --> 01:37:36,74
and. If you have this information might
put this I'm also curious because. The

1085
01:37:36,75 --> 01:37:38,42
way that the C.C.V.

1086
01:37:39,65 --> 01:37:40,74
Credit works it's

1087
01:37:40,75 --> 01:37:44,81
a fast forward ticket it's the free bouncer
so students are all accessing free

1088
01:37:44,82 --> 01:37:47,94
college classes is that what you said is

1089
01:37:47,95 --> 01:37:53,57
a high percentage accessing dual enrollment
through tech centers is far more

1090
01:37:53,58 --> 01:37:56,77
students doing just straight C.C.V.

1091
01:37:56,77 --> 01:38:03,07
. Or. More through doing Roman.

1092
01:38:04,70 --> 01:38:07,33
Two different kinds of out so if
you're in the tech center it's

1093
01:38:07,81 --> 01:38:12,41
a fast forward. If you're in the high
school not the tech center it's just

1094
01:38:12,42 --> 01:38:19,32
a dorm room so more potentially more
students are accessing just college classes

1095
01:38:19,42 --> 01:38:25,46
versus accessing college credit
through the tech centers definitely.

1096
01:38:26,61 --> 01:38:31,08
Think that's something that you've talked
about increasing more by ability and more

1097
01:38:31,09 --> 01:38:32,52
students accessing the tech.

1098
01:38:38,13 --> 01:38:39,69
Support an important.

1099
01:38:46,21 --> 01:38:46,62
Committee is

1100
01:38:46,63 --> 01:38:55,86
a sort of thing from finance.
You bring up the slides. That

1101
01:38:55,87 --> 01:38:56,19
shows

1102
01:38:56,20 --> 01:39:03,61
a lot of people I mean once again or
something you really don't know. I

1103
01:39:03,62 --> 01:39:09,24
guess I want to publicly thank the
community for overwhelmingly giving us the

1104
01:39:09,25 --> 01:39:13,53
budget that we requested seventy two percent
of voters approved the budget in town

1105
01:39:13,54 --> 01:39:17,65
meeting. So thank you for that. As

1106
01:39:17,66 --> 01:39:21,98
a result the Finance Committee will not be
meeting this. Spirit take the month off

1107
01:39:22,62 --> 01:39:27,45
and reconvene next month with
the new with the new team.

1108
01:39:31,38 --> 01:39:37,01
Or. You can say for you
go people are playing.

1109
01:39:40,31 --> 01:39:46,97
With. The synagogue Shushan
three talked. Earlier.

1110
01:39:48,35 --> 01:39:54,26
So we met last week. So
support staff and teachers.

1111
01:39:55,75 --> 01:39:58,13
In both cases we presented them with

1112
01:39:58,32 --> 01:40:05,13
a. Comprehensive. And.

1113
01:40:06,40 --> 01:40:12,79
The support staff took the. We had little
back and forth asking questions but they

1114
01:40:12,80 --> 01:40:17,57
basically want to take some time to respond
and so we'll meet with them again soon

1115
01:40:18,44 --> 01:40:20,90
with the teachers we were there for

1116
01:40:21,26 --> 01:40:26,14
a number of hours and went back and forth
we weren't able to come to an agreement.

1117
01:40:27,60 --> 01:40:29,01
So we decided that bringing in

1118
01:40:29,02 --> 01:40:35,12
a mediator would be helpful so we're working
on scheduling that. Felt as though we

1119
01:40:35,13 --> 01:40:41,45
were reasonably close. That doesn't necessarily
mean that we'll be able to come to

1120
01:40:41,46 --> 01:40:48,41
agreement quickly but it feels as though
at least where. We were. Unfathomably

1121
01:40:48,42 --> 01:40:54,89
far apart. So I'm optimistic
for that. Community

1122
01:40:54,90 --> 01:40:59,57
a community gauge went yeah yeah we're we're
in the process of finalizing our plan

1123
01:40:59,58 --> 01:41:06,27
that I brought up at the last. Meeting.
Just to keep in mind as we're looking at

1124
01:41:06,28 --> 01:41:12,04
the board. Meetings scheduled for the
next year that we're going to ask you to

1125
01:41:12,05 --> 01:41:16,29
attend three to five community meetings
over the course of the next year it can be

1126
01:41:16,30 --> 01:41:22,32
during the summer while we're not in session
it can be during the school year. To

1127
01:41:22,33 --> 01:41:28,02
start and we have ideas for you but start
thinking about the community groups. That

1128
01:41:28,03 --> 01:41:32,48
you are aware of that you think will help
you to be in touch with all of the owners

1129
01:41:32,49 --> 01:41:37,96
of our districts and figuring out when
those meetings are and all of that will be

1130
01:41:37,97 --> 01:41:43,70
and well present at the next meeting
I hope if there's time or and and

1131
01:41:43,71 --> 01:41:48,64
a meeting in the near future we will present.
I think they will first meeting we're

1132
01:41:48,65 --> 01:41:52,54
going to try to leave just for Val and last
there's some other quick things we need

1133
01:41:52,55 --> 01:41:57,81
to take care of that we can talk. A bus
drivers on the support bus drivers around

1134
01:41:57,82 --> 01:42:04,02
sport stuff. I know there's
some stuff from the F.B.I.

1135
01:42:04,03 --> 01:42:07,89
But I think the hold up to Linux and the
agenda items I think that's all the

1136
01:42:07,90 --> 01:42:14,62
committees you know. So we're on to

1137
01:42:14,63 --> 01:42:20,08
talking about our unified governance school
there's been. A fair amount of activity

1138
01:42:20,09 --> 01:42:25,67
if you follow along in
the news. And so also

1139
01:42:25,68 --> 01:42:31,87
a few things I think Diane and maybe
Paul want to chime in as well. So the

1140
01:42:32,86 --> 01:42:36,05
the lawsuit. Is there's not

1141
01:42:36,06 --> 01:42:41,26
a whole lot of activity at this point
there's. If we were to decide to hold

1142
01:42:41,27 --> 01:42:45,17
a vote some things might happen but I think
we're basically just waiting at this

1143
01:42:45,18 --> 01:42:52,00
point. For ruling this is some other things
happening as well the legislators been

1144
01:42:52,01 --> 01:42:58,90
considering. An extension to the deadlines
and not forty six the House passed

1145
01:42:58,91 --> 01:43:05,80
one version the Senate Education Committee
passed something else the other day Paul

1146
01:43:05,81 --> 01:43:12,02
and I were down testifying last week.
And so presumably the Senate will pass

1147
01:43:12,03 --> 01:43:15,43
something that is going to be different
from what the House passed so I will go on

1148
01:43:15,44 --> 01:43:15,55
to

1149
01:43:15,56 --> 01:43:21,41
a conference committee so I don't know if
or when will know if or what changes might

1150
01:43:21,42 --> 01:43:28,07
affect us but that's sort
of going on as well I have

1151
01:43:28,08 --> 01:43:34,98
scheduled. Patron for the April
fifteenth meeting. To me

1152
01:43:34,99 --> 01:43:38,97
this seems as though we may
have enough information to make

1153
01:43:38,98 --> 01:43:43,94
a decision and we may want to
decide. If we want to hold

1154
01:43:43,95 --> 01:43:48,10
a vote or not I don't know if you know we
don't really know given what's going on

1155
01:43:48,11 --> 01:43:52,80
with the legislature whether or not that's
going to be the timeline but it seems to

1156
01:43:52,81 --> 01:43:55,74
me that April fifteenth is probably
a good time for us to have

1157
01:43:55,75 --> 01:44:02,14
a conversation with. And see
where we stand in terms of the

1158
01:44:03,52 --> 01:44:10,07
lawsuit in the legal process.
Since you want to talk about the

1159
01:44:11,22 --> 01:44:15,69
I Can Only to say that the Vermont School
Boards Association Board of Directors.

1160
01:44:16,78 --> 01:44:22,77
And the executive director this issue about
delay not delay at forty six is taking

1161
01:44:22,78 --> 01:44:22,96
up

1162
01:44:23,38 --> 01:44:30,14
a ton of time and in looking at
the conversations they're getting

1163
01:44:30,15 --> 01:44:35,28
very acrimonious. People
adults are not exactly being.

1164
01:44:36,82 --> 01:44:42,28
Polite are great examples to the students
there because of the shepherding but our

1165
01:44:42,29 --> 01:44:46,56
district looks pretty darn good compared
with some of the stuff I've been seeing in

1166
01:44:46,57 --> 01:44:52,60
terms of written emails and attitudes and
so forth so I have to pat us on the back

1167
01:44:52,61 --> 01:44:58,54
for doing pretty well with the tough
situation. And I don't see that there's going

1168
01:44:58,55 --> 01:45:04,81
to be any change for us other than what you
guys already know from the legislature

1169
01:45:04,82 --> 01:45:08,79
will still have that deadline of two
thousand one hundred that's going to change.

1170
01:45:15,27 --> 01:45:21,63
Just two quick points. I would agree
with what John just said about the

1171
01:45:21,64 --> 01:45:26,99
Legislature of the. Senate bill for
Huntington is probably going to be.

1172
01:45:29,03 --> 01:45:35,27
The No Doubt is the July one thousand
nine hundred. House Bill gave

1173
01:45:36,06 --> 01:45:41,54
and then you see an option of twenty one
one hundred twenty twenty I testified I

1174
01:45:41,55 --> 01:45:41,100
was asked

1175
01:45:42,01 --> 01:45:48,01
a question by the chair and by Senator Hardy
I said as far as Huntington's concerned

1176
01:45:48,57 --> 01:45:53,74
we are fine with twenty with July one twenty
nineteen we don't want to extend this

1177
01:45:53,75 --> 01:45:58,89
on another near something.
In terms of the V.S.B.

1178
01:45:58,90 --> 01:46:03,80
a. There are those
probably done and I have

1179
01:46:03,81 --> 01:46:10,49
a different opinion about.
The Without going into any

1180
01:46:10,50 --> 01:46:17,23
detail of the executive committee.
Which tax in the middle of the week

1181
01:46:17,80 --> 01:46:23,55
last week and that took everybody by
surprise so I think that's why there were

1182
01:46:23,56 --> 01:46:30,31
people not myself but others who got pretty
upset about that but it was explained.

1183
01:46:31,35 --> 01:46:37,59
No one's Wednesday and Thursday is a
committee of what he says and we met at

1184
01:46:37,95 --> 01:46:44,74
a board of directors on Langfang last
week. On Monday and Monday we were not

1185
01:46:44,75 --> 01:46:47,42
all that Nicole Mason is not going to take

1186
01:46:47,43 --> 01:46:52,53
a position right she then appears on his
testimony fund Thursday at the end of the

1187
01:46:52,54 --> 01:46:57,96
day people want pretty crazy about that
lots of questions back and forth lots of

1188
01:46:57,97 --> 01:47:04,63
people getting e-mailed. The call did
not testify another individual did

1189
01:47:04,64 --> 01:47:11,64
testify in favor of no delay.
But in all honesty no delay for

1190
01:47:11,68 --> 01:47:17,20
any school district in the state in my
judgment makes absolutely no sense not

1191
01:47:17,21 --> 01:47:22,50
talking about Huntington there are definitely
school districts in my judgment and

1192
01:47:22,51 --> 01:47:24,13
you know the law so

1193
01:47:24,14 --> 01:47:28,50
a one size fits all just didn't make any
sense and I think that's why they got the

1194
01:47:28,51 --> 01:47:29,74
feedback the S.B.A.

1195
01:47:29,75 --> 01:47:35,00
To say they did and I think the other thing
that we have to remember is that the

1196
01:47:35,01 --> 01:47:37,80
districts that are fighting
merge or don't have

1197
01:47:37,81 --> 01:47:42,57
a vote they don't vote to do it when
you're meeting any or all of the school

1198
01:47:42,58 --> 01:47:45,50
districts used to have a
vote so we don't have

1199
01:47:45,51 --> 01:47:50,68
a vote and hunting doesn't this the school
districts that are finding merger don't

1200
01:47:50,69 --> 01:47:50,84
have

1201
01:47:50,85 --> 01:47:56,59
a vote so they're feeling pretty disenfranchised
at this at this point in time so

1202
01:47:56,60 --> 01:47:57,55
it's been been

1203
01:47:57,56 --> 01:48:04,55
a tough week. But stars Huntington's concert
so I want to twenty nineteen that's

1204
01:48:04,56 --> 01:48:07,25
what we're that's what we're
thinking regardless of what happens.

1205
01:48:12,51 --> 01:48:16,07
Stuff that stays the way it is would want
to be talking about whether or not we

1206
01:48:16,08 --> 01:48:20,20
want to hold a vote by the end of
June it's possible as Paul said just

1207
01:48:20,21 --> 01:48:23,61
a given the houses versions
that we might have

1208
01:48:23,62 --> 01:48:29,30
a choice of extending things. Make it Tom
can stick to what goes on closed doors or

1209
01:48:29,31 --> 01:48:34,95
in the conference committees that I.
Like my crystal ball is broken interpret

1210
01:48:34,96 --> 01:48:39,30
what's likely to come out
of that so. I'm not putting

1211
01:48:39,31 --> 01:48:42,43
a whole lot of weight on either version
knowing that knowing that things are going

1212
01:48:42,44 --> 01:48:49,13
to change. At some point I'm just not
trust us here so we call it when you

1213
01:48:49,14 --> 01:48:55,37
say. July first what it would be

1214
01:48:57,05 --> 01:49:01,32
if their money has merged on July first
and twenty nineteen were not merged and

1215
01:49:01,33 --> 01:49:06,21
twenty nineteen that's what I think's
going to happen with the with with the

1216
01:49:06,22 --> 01:49:07,89
legislature and I thought it was such

1217
01:49:07,90 --> 01:49:11,35
a movie made rumor that the Senate the
Senate bill is going to leave Huntington

1218
01:49:11,36 --> 01:49:17,27
July one of twenty nineteen which is where
the secretary's order is so the Senate

1219
01:49:17,31 --> 01:49:22,76
the Senate education bill doesn't change
the secretary's order at all where we're

1220
01:49:22,77 --> 01:49:27,25
sitting here right now is no different
than where we were on November third with

1221
01:49:27,26 --> 01:49:33,45
respect to send this occasion and Huntington
doesn't want another year of the and

1222
01:49:33,46 --> 01:49:38,15
I'm sure no one wants another year of the
conflict and tension that we've had so we

1223
01:49:38,16 --> 01:49:41,62
would prefer to get this resolved by July
want to twenty nineteen and not have

1224
01:49:41,63 --> 01:49:48,61
another year back and forth.
So. I mean you would vote to

1225
01:49:48,62 --> 01:49:55,01
dissolve Chinese if. The state.

1226
01:49:56,20 --> 01:50:02,19
So if there was no merger. So at this point
we're just dealing with the question of

1227
01:50:02,25 --> 01:50:07,69
the last stages of AK forty six and there
are some questions about when and how

1228
01:50:08,69 --> 01:50:13,01
things will happen I think the I think the
expectation that Philip Ruth had which I

1229
01:50:13,02 --> 01:50:19,10
think I think is generally accepted is
that. If not Mansfield does not hold

1230
01:50:19,11 --> 01:50:21,31
a vote by the end of June
that Huntington would remain

1231
01:50:21,32 --> 01:50:26,10
a modern Huntington would remain as
they are if we did choose to hold

1232
01:50:26,11 --> 01:50:31,54
a vote. And it was positive before July
first then Huntington would be merged that

1233
01:50:31,55 --> 01:50:38,49
seems to be the issue in terms of
dissolving the supervisory Union I

1234
01:50:38,50 --> 01:50:42,51
think you're referring to the motion that
we passed this board passed in January

1235
01:50:43,73 --> 01:50:50,71
and so if we get to the end of this AK
forty six process and we are not merged

1236
01:50:51,66 --> 01:50:57,02
then we would be looking to. To go and
talk to the state board in terms of

1237
01:50:57,03 --> 01:51:03,68
dissolving. The supervisory Union.
So the attorney Peytral then that we

1238
01:51:03,72 --> 01:51:10,35
were. That our insurance company
gave us to defend for the lawsuit

1239
01:51:11,14 --> 01:51:16,51
we're also using in terms of the over
our board's overall goal of having

1240
01:51:16,56 --> 01:51:21,95
a. Unified governance and just being one
board as opposed to the two that are

1241
01:51:21,96 --> 01:51:27,73
really set hearing sitting here at the
table now with the third. Third board as

1242
01:51:27,74 --> 01:51:34,73
well so though. So that would

1243
01:51:34,74 --> 01:51:35,79
be and that would be

1244
01:51:35,80 --> 01:51:41,91
a next step if it were the
board voted to instruct the

1245
01:51:42,58 --> 01:51:49,05
district district attorney. To begin the
process of dissolving the district is that

1246
01:51:49,06 --> 01:51:55,82
motions is that resolution.
Yeah that's not something

1247
01:51:55,83 --> 01:52:01,92
our lawyer because the legislative changes
know that's the right side of the motion

1248
01:52:02,40 --> 01:52:04,25
but I believe we authorized him to get

1249
01:52:04,26 --> 01:52:07,01
a necessary steps to
accomplish the goals as

1250
01:52:07,02 --> 01:52:13,43
a practical matter. No steps have been taken
to dissolve the supervisory union nor

1251
01:52:13,44 --> 01:52:18,55
would I instruct our attorney to do that
until we first resolve the issues around

1252
01:52:19,35 --> 01:52:22,55
governance we maybe. We may be merged in

1253
01:52:22,56 --> 01:52:27,42
a few months or we may have some different
resolution that forty six or we may have

1254
01:52:27,43 --> 01:52:32,73
found out that there are some different
timeline. I get nervous when there's

1255
01:52:33,01 --> 01:52:39,94
legislation being written because.
Occasionally it's surprising

1256
01:52:39,95 --> 01:52:46,79
and has things that we didn't
anticipate and so. Right now our

1257
01:52:46,80 --> 01:52:53,54
focus is on on seeing what happens there
and then after that if we're still

1258
01:52:53,55 --> 01:52:54,17
not

1259
01:52:54,29 --> 01:53:00,41
a unified district we would then move on
towards looking to dissolving the supervisory

1260
01:53:00,42 --> 01:53:05,08
Union or any other legal steps as I think
the wording if I'm this is not Mansfield

1261
01:53:05,09 --> 01:53:09,68
authorizes legal counsel to take all steps
allowed under current law so the Mount

1262
01:53:09,69 --> 01:53:13,82
Mansfield may become a supervisory district
under I forty six not forty nine with

1263
01:53:13,83 --> 01:53:17,62
a unified governance structure regardless
of the inclusion of owning in school

1264
01:53:17,63 --> 01:53:20,21
districts This should
include the filing of

1265
01:53:20,22 --> 01:53:24,53
a formal request with the State Board of
Education for all approvals required so

1266
01:53:24,54 --> 01:53:25,58
the Mount Mansell may have

1267
01:53:25,59 --> 01:53:30,10
a unified government structure is that
motion still in effect Absolutely and that's

1268
01:53:30,11 --> 01:53:37,08
what we'll do once this first question of
that forty six. But obviously they'll be

1269
01:53:37,09 --> 01:53:41,26
some conversation between the attorney
on the board in terms of that in the

1270
01:53:41,27 --> 01:53:44,62
community assuming we decide to proceed
I think you know I think we have

1271
01:53:44,63 --> 01:53:48,77
a rough idea of what that might look like
but I don't know that we know what the

1272
01:53:48,78 --> 01:53:54,57
timeframe would be that would be.
You know we would take that up.

1273
01:53:56,94 --> 01:54:02,23
Possibly before June but my guess would
be after that. Again assuming that we're

1274
01:54:02,24 --> 01:54:05,67
not that we don't that we continue to be

1275
01:54:05,68 --> 01:54:11,72
a non unified governance structure then
we would be pursuing that so we have

1276
01:54:11,73 --> 01:54:17,87
decided to pursue it if we
still are Right right yeah.

1277
01:54:19,22 --> 01:54:22,91
So the idea that if I did I don't think it
was perhaps as explicit in the end there

1278
01:54:22,92 --> 01:54:26,99
is perhaps it could have been and perhaps
it was intentional but I think the

1279
01:54:26,100 --> 01:54:33,77
board's the board's intent with that motion
was that we would try to. Resolve the

1280
01:54:33,78 --> 01:54:37,88
question of unification first hoping that
Huntington will join us as part of AK

1281
01:54:37,89 --> 01:54:42,17
forty six and then if that doesn't happen
then we're going to pursue unified

1282
01:54:42,18 --> 01:54:45,51
governance and I think we also want to
make sure that folks were aware of that

1283
01:54:45,52 --> 01:54:51,49
that's where the sport stood and
that if we don't end up as a. As

1284
01:54:51,50 --> 01:54:55,59
a merged district and we're we're going
to be trying to figure out how we can end

1285
01:54:55,60 --> 01:54:57,41
up with a single board I think I saw

1286
01:54:57,42 --> 01:55:03,83
a hand go. To need to listen to your
testimonies to the Senate committee my

1287
01:55:03,84 --> 01:55:05,67
granddaughter was visiting so I didn't get

1288
01:55:05,68 --> 01:55:11,26
a chance to listen to Paul the next day
but one thing that the committee chair

1289
01:55:12,06 --> 01:55:18,86
shared with you that you haven't
mentioned is that if in fact. My man so

1290
01:55:18,87 --> 01:55:25,11
goes the way of. Eliminating the. C.S.U.

1291
01:55:25,12 --> 01:55:31,92
They ask you that of the committee chair
as serious support to your efforts

1292
01:55:31,93 --> 01:55:36,85
and I'm sure you recall that that was to
the end of your testimony and and thinking

1293
01:55:36,86 --> 01:55:37,74
about the as

1294
01:55:37,75 --> 01:55:44,52
a. Angriness this out there I do
have the opportunity to read.

1295
01:55:45,60 --> 01:55:49,34
About ninety percent of the correspondence
going on between the truth thirty thirty

1296
01:55:49,35 --> 01:55:55,88
three school districts and its six
stream the high and next extremely angry

1297
01:55:56,14 --> 01:56:02,02
and someone in that group
summary of last week was that.

1298
01:56:03,25 --> 01:56:07,91
It looks like that the districts that.
Don't want to merge or don't get

1299
01:56:07,92 --> 01:56:11,26
a delay and those A one A
merger have a delay so it was

1300
01:56:11,27 --> 01:56:16,09
a summer yeah OK if you are really angry
you know your dad you know you're dead in

1301
01:56:16,10 --> 01:56:18,97
the water so to speak and if you
really get along well you got

1302
01:56:18,98 --> 01:56:24,72
a year to year to continue to work so it
was easy when the right. Yabba thirty

1303
01:56:24,73 --> 01:56:29,85
three and there's the other Huntington's
one of the others and then they're stuck

1304
01:56:30,47 --> 01:56:36,51
but mostly conversation but as in among
those thirty three so it's not private Well

1305
01:56:36,52 --> 01:56:36,98
I guess it is

1306
01:56:36,99 --> 01:56:45,52
a private conversation many way I
have reading abilities the same. Some

1307
01:56:45,53 --> 01:56:51,16
more to come and I expect that.
April fifteenth will stand

1308
01:56:51,17 --> 01:56:56,79
a good chunk of time talking about.
If and what we need to decide.

1309
01:57:01,67 --> 01:57:08,46
So I was curious if you're going to be
addressing the non-binding motion. Meeting.

1310
01:57:15,73 --> 01:57:17,85
If I recall can you refresh my memory.

1311
01:57:33,04 --> 01:57:33,54
Well I'm not

1312
01:57:33,55 --> 01:57:39,26
a lawyer but my understanding of what
this means is that if the Mansfield court

1313
01:57:39,27 --> 01:57:41,64
were to agree to not have a vote on

1314
01:57:41,65 --> 01:57:46,42
a merger. Which would mean
that there would not be

1315
01:57:46,43 --> 01:57:53,43
a merger at least under the current
state court order and the legislation

1316
01:57:54,34 --> 01:57:59,60
that. Honey honey should district would
drop Mansfield from the current law says.

1317
01:58:01,27 --> 01:58:08,16
So and. You're shaking your head
gal. Apolo do this summer you

1318
01:58:08,17 --> 01:58:14,05
can summarize. The same it's the same thing
has been on the books since to middle

1319
01:58:14,06 --> 01:58:20,15
of January which is and we said it over
and over and it was said at the Town

1320
01:58:20,16 --> 01:58:26,63
Meeting over and over. That
if. Mansfield says it won't

1321
01:58:26,80 --> 01:58:27,18
warn

1322
01:58:27,19 --> 01:58:32,58
a vote before the judge rules then the
Huntington school board will meet and discuss

1323
01:58:32,59 --> 01:58:33,88
dropping that man so there's

1324
01:58:33,89 --> 01:58:40,73
a defendant. In the legal
challenge. Have you gotten.

1325
01:58:42,18 --> 01:58:47,26
Legal Counsel that we have no we were fine
with that in other words if now Mansell

1326
01:58:47,27 --> 01:58:48,88
said is not going to warrant

1327
01:58:48,89 --> 01:58:54,31
a vote before the judge rolls we're going
to meet no problem and out of that will

1328
01:58:54,32 --> 01:58:54,46
be

1329
01:58:54,47 --> 01:59:00,72
a decision to drop me and so does the
defendant but we would do it quickly and then

1330
01:59:00,73 --> 01:59:07,50
wait months for the next. Boat to

1331
01:59:08,33 --> 01:59:15,25
develop in tree Court. But. I
think. I would just say that that

1332
01:59:15,72 --> 01:59:21,04
speaking of acrimony and tension at a town
has obviously been one that is because

1333
01:59:21,05 --> 01:59:24,61
a lot of it this was an effort. By

1334
01:59:24,62 --> 01:59:30,13
a community member to bridge
that but I think to get to.

1335
01:59:31,87 --> 01:59:37,77
Opposing viewpoints kind of a place to say
you know and I mean you being named in

1336
01:59:37,78 --> 01:59:42,80
a lawsuit is really hard for the town of
Huntington because it's obviously naming

1337
01:59:42,81 --> 01:59:49,12
ourselves and so it was and
it was an effort to at least.

1338
01:59:50,88 --> 01:59:56,74
To leave. That was an hour and twenty minutes
discussion on this well and then you

1339
01:59:56,75 --> 01:59:57,07
know I'm

1340
01:59:57,08 --> 02:00:04,23
a spliff launched just on this one
most on the comma well on the. Right

1341
02:00:04,38 --> 02:00:05,14
night or

1342
02:00:05,15 --> 02:00:10,32
a memo to one of them about the competitor
but I didn't know what it is. But it

1343
02:00:10,33 --> 02:00:12,63
started well before lunch
and then up right.

1344
02:00:17,61 --> 02:00:21,78
So I said I thought it was important that
it was mentioned in that appreciate that

1345
02:00:21,79 --> 02:00:25,56
and I'm sure how I mean you know there's
obviously some different viewpoints and

1346
02:00:25,60 --> 02:00:26,61
Donington on probably

1347
02:00:26,62 --> 02:00:31,83
a number of issues it's been it's been
difficult I think to manage the terrain

1348
02:00:31,95 --> 02:00:35,32
partially because the terrain is shifting
but actually because I think it's pretty

1349
02:00:35,33 --> 02:00:37,51
clear that that part of our community has

1350
02:00:37,52 --> 02:00:43,97
a different view than than
the other part. Telling

1351
02:00:45,21 --> 02:00:51,68
Me Yep Yep he'll have that I did
speak to Pietro before I testified.

1352
02:00:53,05 --> 02:00:56,58
And I'm sure that John and I will be in
touch before the April fifteenth meeting to

1353
02:00:56,59 --> 02:01:01,11
make sure that he has all the
information. So that we can have

1354
02:01:01,12 --> 02:01:07,76
a productive discussion again and assuming
that that makes sense Kevin this will

1355
02:01:08,24 --> 02:01:09,97
fall if I could ask you

1356
02:01:10,66 --> 02:01:15,75
a question. You know directed to the chair
and I'm sure. I want to make sure I

1357
02:01:15,76 --> 02:01:21,95
heard the Huntington school board chair
correctly and if so maybe we could get that

1358
02:01:21,96 --> 02:01:27,40
writing where he's basically saying on
behalf of the honey to the school board he's

1359
02:01:27,41 --> 02:01:34,23
sharing this with us that the school
board will. Drop us from the lawsuit

1360
02:01:34,24 --> 02:01:40,52
if we decide accordingly but I think that's
what you just said right as it was we

1361
02:01:40,56 --> 02:01:45,36
have the go ahead but we've had the go
ahead from our legal council since the

1362
02:01:45,37 --> 02:01:52,03
middle of January this is the
same exact language. In our

1363
02:01:52,04 --> 02:01:53,50
response to M.M.U.

1364
02:01:53,69 --> 02:02:00,59
Steve's petition to be dismissed page
five this this language our response to

1365
02:02:00,60 --> 02:02:07,47
the petition to reconsideration that
the judge denied this language and so

1366
02:02:07,84 --> 02:02:14,16
this is the same language from the from
the floor and we have legal advice that

1367
02:02:14,17 --> 02:02:17,81
says this is fine so if M.M. U.S.T.

1368
02:02:17,82 --> 02:02:22,93
Takes up as ition we meet we have FULL of
forty at that meeting at the end I was

1369
02:02:23,05 --> 02:02:27,30
probably a special board meeting
to say yes and my intention my X.

1370
02:02:27,37 --> 02:02:31,78
Full expectation would be that
we would drop and then US D.

1371
02:02:32,50 --> 02:02:33,57
As a defendant in

1372
02:02:33,58 --> 02:02:37,12
a lawsuit as long as him and us did
he says are not going to warrant

1373
02:02:37,13 --> 02:02:42,95
a vote before the judge rules in the main
argument. So yes that's exactly that's

1374
02:02:42,96 --> 02:02:47,22
exactly the intention and I think that's
what I do believe that's what would happen

1375
02:02:47,38 --> 02:02:53,12
right away. That we have
that right it is on the run.

1376
02:02:55,34 --> 02:02:59,88
I mean what I'm reading in the minutes is
that the town is asking the school board

1377
02:02:59,89 --> 02:03:05,23
to do so I'm not school board
asking. This board anything.

1378
02:03:07,13 --> 02:03:11,71
To Money can school board
minutes from January we're not.

1379
02:03:13,74 --> 02:03:19,87
The Unc in school board
has not asked M M U S D.

1380
02:03:22,20 --> 02:03:29,09
From board to board right because the
conversation has been between Council

1381
02:03:29,10 --> 02:03:35,36
and council and then at
the town meeting. And

1382
02:03:36,06 --> 02:03:42,21
motion came up with visor emotion. An
individual said that he would be coming to

1383
02:03:42,22 --> 02:03:47,89
your board meeting to represent that sort
of conversation which is us something

1384
02:03:47,90 --> 02:03:53,88
what we're doing now. And so we're
waiting to hear back at this point.

1385
02:03:55,73 --> 02:03:57,29
And we we've discussed this

1386
02:03:57,60 --> 02:04:02,36
a school board meeting but we're still
waiting to hear back from not Mansfield to

1387
02:04:02,37 --> 02:04:07,97
see if they're going to
make that statement so if.

1388
02:04:10,27 --> 02:04:10,89
I'm sure that

1389
02:04:10,90 --> 02:04:16,80
a future is not already aware of this.
Motion that it will be brought to his

1390
02:04:16,81 --> 02:04:22,29
attention and that will be part of the
discussion if it's part of the needs if it's

1391
02:04:22,30 --> 02:04:26,35
a helpful part of the decision
that we need to potential in

1392
02:04:26,36 --> 02:04:32,95
a clinical fifteen. But we I think we
need to we need to hear from our attorney

1393
02:04:33,62 --> 02:04:38,17
what that means what implications there
might be before we before we make

1394
02:04:38,18 --> 02:04:42,53
a decision as a project matter
if we're going to warrant

1395
02:04:42,54 --> 02:04:47,35
a vote before you know that to happen
before the end of June it's going to be

1396
02:04:47,36 --> 02:04:53,40
a relatively short order anyway. And April
or I think early May would be the latest

1397
02:04:53,41 --> 02:04:54,82
that if you are going to hold

1398
02:04:54,83 --> 02:04:58,53
a vote that we can. But we'll
talk to Peter on the fifteenth

1399
02:05:01,95 --> 02:05:08,51
got anything else go but. It isn't to
right now what Paul just said in that the

1400
02:05:08,52 --> 02:05:12,91
first time this board is heard from the
Huntington board that the Huntingdon board

1401
02:05:12,95 --> 02:05:19,30
accepted the advice they got.
Which was. They have I think

1402
02:05:19,80 --> 02:05:23,91
their advice was if
this board post put off

1403
02:05:23,92 --> 02:05:30,17
a vote then Huntington board was going to
drop the lawsuit against Mel Mansell the

1404
02:05:30,18 --> 02:05:34,87
best first time I saw I mean I heard it
at Tommy but I'm his first time I think

1405
02:05:34,88 --> 02:05:38,08
this board has heard that this may be the
first time that it's been discussed in

1406
02:05:38,09 --> 02:05:38,66
open session

1407
02:05:45,37 --> 02:05:52,34
I still don't see that as the Huntington
school board and its token represent

1408
02:05:52,35 --> 02:05:56,05
them that's fine but I don't see it anywhere
in writing from the Huntington school

1409
02:05:56,15 --> 02:06:00,90
where they really we were looking at old
minutes right now that are on line so I

1410
02:06:01,24 --> 02:06:07,83
guess I appreciate that the town is
requesting that of the board strongly

1411
02:06:07,84 --> 02:06:13,15
appreciate that I think that is. A
really positive gesture of good faith.

1412
02:06:15,02 --> 02:06:20,33
I think that we do need to have it in
writing from the board like Kevin said we

1413
02:06:20,34 --> 02:06:24,41
agree we cream is the right. Wow.

1414
02:06:28,79 --> 02:06:33,52
I mean the meat is basically saying that
if you don't do what we're suing to

1415
02:06:33,53 --> 02:06:38,07
prevent you from doing what we're preventing
we're you know we're suing you to stop

1416
02:06:38,08 --> 02:06:41,82
you from doing something if you agree to
not do it will drop illicit right I mean

1417
02:06:43,21 --> 02:06:48,61
it was not the original motion right but
that's essentially what it's inflicted but

1418
02:06:48,65 --> 02:06:53,15
at this point there's nothing for us to to
look I don't act on look at talk to the

1419
02:06:53,16 --> 02:06:56,73
attorney about this is agree
with us we want to do.

1420
02:07:01,59 --> 02:07:05,60
For the hour is getting late I know we have
or more to talk about there and I think

1421
02:07:05,61 --> 02:07:11,92
that'll happen the next meeting that the
meeting after. So our next agenda item

1422
02:07:12,47 --> 02:07:18,05
is an update on the boat and potholes in
the Vermont river Conservancy. Serves me

1423
02:07:18,06 --> 02:07:21,74
right for at the last meeting saying that
nothing was happening there so of course

1424
02:07:21,74 --> 02:07:25,68
. I was wrong ran into the town clerk

1425
02:07:25,98 --> 02:07:29,58
a few days later and found out that the
Vermont river Conservancy has purchased

1426
02:07:29,59 --> 02:07:36,08
some of the land in Bolton.
They went to the select board.

1427
02:07:38,48 --> 02:07:43,47
And I went to that meeting as well the
Vermont river Conservancy asked for the town

1428
02:07:44,07 --> 02:07:46,84
to install some porta Lets and

1429
02:07:46,85 --> 02:07:52,46
a sign and to give the OK for some steps
they didn't have funding for the steps but

1430
02:07:52,47 --> 02:07:57,85
they wanted the the OK from the town this
would all be located on town property but

1431
02:07:57,86 --> 02:08:04,84
it is directly behind the
school. So what I believe was

1432
02:08:04,85 --> 02:08:09,24
anticipated to happen at the boat select
board meeting tonight was that they're

1433
02:08:09,25 --> 02:08:10,59
going to decide to have

1434
02:08:10,60 --> 02:08:16,61
a public. Community forum to
discuss this the issues. It's

1435
02:08:16,62 --> 02:08:21,47
a big issue for the folks who happen to
live. In that small part of the world it's

1436
02:08:21,48 --> 02:08:26,40
a very big issue and it has the potential
to impact the school district.

1437
02:08:29,30 --> 02:08:33,46
As people sometimes tend to park in the
school parking lot or walk through and by

1438
02:08:33,47 --> 02:08:39,16
the school and there are some issues there
so. I just wanted the school board to be

1439
02:08:39,17 --> 02:08:43,61
aware that that's going on and I think I
know that I'll attend any public form

1440
02:08:43,62 --> 02:08:46,00
involved and I believe there's

1441
02:08:46,01 --> 02:08:50,13
a chance that the administration would
send somebody to one of those meetings as

1442
02:08:50,14 --> 02:08:54,89
well to deal with our concerns
that we considered on

1443
02:08:54,90 --> 02:08:59,21
a board issue or through the
Strait of issues. I think it's

1444
02:08:59,22 --> 02:09:04,92
a ministry of issue I think and this
resenting us for information. You can was in

1445
02:09:04,93 --> 02:09:10,61
this tied to some transfer of property and
that was part of what brought up some of

1446
02:09:10,62 --> 02:09:17,21
the questions for me. I think that's
where it felt like for me it was

1447
02:09:17,22 --> 02:09:23,97
a board issue so there are. The whole

1448
02:09:23,98 --> 02:09:28,49
reason that I brought up the discussion I
think this was at the last meeting. Which

1449
02:09:28,50 --> 02:09:29,24
I really think was

1450
02:09:29,25 --> 02:09:36,100
a separate issue the. In the
ninety's when the. Smiley

1451
02:09:37,01 --> 02:09:41,88
elementary school was expanding the town
ended up purchasing some of the land that

1452
02:09:41,89 --> 02:09:46,18
was needed to expand the school it was
intended to be transferred to the school but

1453
02:09:46,19 --> 02:09:47,71
that never happened so

1454
02:09:47,72 --> 02:09:51,23
a portion of our school building sits
on land that is owned by the town we're

1455
02:09:51,39 --> 02:09:52,68
supposed to be paying a dollar

1456
02:09:52,69 --> 02:09:58,67
a year lease. There were some reasons why
we thought we were going to be able to

1457
02:09:58,68 --> 02:10:03,61
move the property line so that the school
district would the land underneath the

1458
02:10:03,62 --> 02:10:08,53
building there was some reasons why the
town didn't want to do that I think that's

1459
02:10:08,54 --> 02:10:15,07
what. Prompted my discussion of other things
that are going on in the area I don't

1460
02:10:15,08 --> 02:10:19,26
know that they're related.
To the school being

1461
02:10:19,27 --> 02:10:26,03
a place where often happens
and that with this kind of

1462
02:10:26,46 --> 02:10:32,71
Chua's I ownership squatting piece that
there was some confusion at least and that

1463
02:10:32,71 --> 02:10:35,02
. We did get clarity as

1464
02:10:35,03 --> 02:10:38,48
a result of the surveys that we did in
terms of figuring out where the school

1465
02:10:38,49 --> 02:10:44,03
district wanted to relocate the property
line we're clear where that line is. I

1466
02:10:44,04 --> 02:10:48,05
don't think it was ever the intent at least
of the school district to purchase the

1467
02:10:48,06 --> 02:10:51,70
property that the Vermont river the piece
of the property that the Vermont river

1468
02:10:51,71 --> 02:10:58,08
Conservancy is asking the Bolton select
board to allow them to put up or to us and

1469
02:10:58,09 --> 02:11:03,96
assign and install the steps right
in that very spot there's also

1470
02:11:03,97 --> 02:11:10,25
a fire department hydrant so the town has
intended to keep that piece and they have

1471
02:11:10,26 --> 02:11:13,71
a right of way through our
parking lot to access that.

1472
02:11:18,71 --> 02:11:21,45
Fence. I mean I'm just trying to get

1473
02:11:21,46 --> 02:11:28,24
a piece of the land because they're looking
about it seeing where it where is it

1474
02:11:28,25 --> 02:11:33,40
with regard to neither is or the piece
of land that they're interested and.

1475
02:11:35,87 --> 02:11:42,19
So the potholes are almost directly behind
the school the town owns the land that's

1476
02:11:42,20 --> 02:11:48,100
mostly to the east so away from the valley
access road the Vermont river concerns

1477
02:11:49,01 --> 02:11:53,74
he just purchased the land that is to the
west of the potholes between the access

1478
02:11:53,75 --> 02:11:57,81
road and the. And the potholes

1479
02:11:58,22 --> 02:12:03,52
a number of years ago that. The town
installed guardrails so it's impossible for

1480
02:12:03,53 --> 02:12:06,58
people to now park on the access road as

1481
02:12:06,59 --> 02:12:12,29
a result of that. They've ended up parking
in the school parking lot in general

1482
02:12:12,30 --> 02:12:12,87
that hasn't been

1483
02:12:12,88 --> 02:12:17,11
a problem but there's been there
has been some mentalism they took

1484
02:12:17,12 --> 02:12:17,89
a bunch of vegetables

1485
02:12:17,90 --> 02:12:24,87
a couple summers ago trash issues there's
been some other other concerns. You know

1486
02:12:24,88 --> 02:12:28,56
the school district obviously is happy
to have people use the parking lot in

1487
02:12:28,57 --> 02:12:33,50
a respectful manner but folks some of the
folks who go to the potholes are engaged

1488
02:12:33,51 --> 02:12:37,50
in behaviors that don't belong on
school grounds and that's a that's

1489
02:12:37,51 --> 02:12:43,96
a concern I think for the district and I
think John is. You know John is prepared

1490
02:12:43,97 --> 02:12:48,93
to try and relay the concerns that the
school district has to the select board I'm

1491
02:12:48,94 --> 02:12:52,46
not sure if he would do that or
if he'd have somebody else to do

1492
02:12:58,98 --> 02:13:02,70
so hard to take up more time with town
business but I did want to make sure folks

1493
02:13:02,71 --> 02:13:09,41
knew it was what was going on. Does
anyone have any other business or

1494
02:13:09,75 --> 02:13:15,35
discussion about future
agenda items. You know.

1495
02:13:18,64 --> 02:13:20,58
Here. Where.

1496
02:13:29,85 --> 02:13:36,77
I brought cookies to share. Probably
on the way out the best way

1497
02:13:36,78 --> 02:13:43,50
to get down again and be sure we planted.
A frame for the next meeting if nobody.

1498
02:13:49,10 --> 02:13:54,50
You know. So I think our next couple
meetings look like April first approaches

1499
02:13:54,51 --> 02:13:59,76
river will be meeting with the
Gardner. For policy governance.

1500
02:14:01,85 --> 02:14:03,76
And I suspect

1501
02:14:03,77 --> 02:14:07,43
a good chunk of the April fifteenth
meeting will be the which is back here at

1502
02:14:07,44 --> 02:14:13,17
camel's hump will be dealing with our
forty six issues. We do also have on our

1503
02:14:13,18 --> 02:14:13,54
agenda

1504
02:14:13,55 --> 02:14:17,53
a policy govern itself review which I
intend to put at the end of each agenda but

1505
02:14:17,54 --> 02:14:22,64
that does not seem appropriate for this
particular meeting given the topics of the

1506
02:14:22,65 --> 02:14:29,54
hour Does anybody have anything else.
Cynics might believe she said April

1507
02:14:29,55 --> 02:14:30,06
first was

1508
02:14:30,07 --> 02:14:34,76
a brown server though the schedule here
says you can't but we are camped some

1509
02:14:34,77 --> 02:14:37,88
tonight so you know at the
bottom of our agenda.

1510
02:14:42,05 --> 02:14:47,79
If you prefer So I want to make sure
Bransford is ready for OK with you.

1511
02:14:49,78 --> 02:14:56,66
To the topic. Of money make sure everybody
knows that but at the bottom How about

1512
02:14:56,67 --> 02:15:02,75
really that happened before. They proposed
I want to talk about I don't want to

1513
02:15:02,76 --> 02:15:09,40
happen this or high there
is no right. Or there is no

1514
02:15:09,41 --> 02:15:15,17
maybe. I would entertain

1515
02:15:15,18 --> 02:15:21,24
a motion to adjourn to look back at
all in favor say I want a cookie.
